Jan 2012 – Am currently recruiting two PhD students for next year, one in physiology/ecology, one in 3D displays. Details to follow shortly!
Jan 2012 – Fredrik‘s PhD thesis accepted by the university; well done Fredrik.
Jan 2012 – Amused to have my first publication in an ecology journal: a paper on optimal strategy under predation, where unsurprisingly I provided the signal detection theory rather than the ecology expertise.
Dec 2011 – Fredrik passed his viva with minor corrections: congratulations Fredrik!
Nov 2011 – Graeme passed his viva with minor corrections: congratulations Graeme!
Aug 2011 – Once again am enjoying hosting another 3 sixth-formers in my lab doing Nuffield summer projects.
Jun 2011 – Fredrik‘s latest paperaccepted by PLoS Computational Biology.
Apr 2011 – awarded £41k of NHS funding to examine double vision in strabismus and chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia.
Nov 2010 – paperon intermittent exotropia in children accepted by Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science.
Sep 2010 – awarded £500 from EPSRC’s Holmes-Hines fund, towards a cool public engagement exhibit – watch this space!
Sep 2010 – Ignacio‘s latest paper accepted by Journal of Vision, postulating a difference in the number of disparity channels available for detecting horizontal vs vertical depth corrugations.
Aug 2010 – Graeme‘s paper accepted in European Journal of Neuroscience, showing that stereo correspondence does not take account of changes in vertical disparity which occur as our eyes move from viewing near to far objects, but remains optimised for far viewing.
Aug 2010 – am hosting two sixth-formers in the lab this summer on Nuffield projects. Am enjoying their enthusiasm!
Aug 2010 – New paper accepted in PLoS ONE, on stereo vision in the visual agnosic patient DF, in collaboration with Andrew Parker and David Milner as well as usual suspects Graemeand Ignacio.
June 2010 – Fredrik‘s first paper accepted in Journal of Vision, on how current models of disparity encoding fail to capture our perception of sine-wave vs square-wave disparity gratings.
Oct 2009 – New paper with my postdoc Ignacio Serrano-Pedraza and PhD student GraemePhillipson out in Journal of Vision, reporting that we are sensitive to discontinuities in vertical disparity.
Feb 2010 – awarded £8,000 NHS Flexibility and Sustainability Funding to support Deborah Buck working on intermittent exotropia.
Feb 2010 – awarded £18,586 NHS Flexibility and Sustainability Funding to support Ignacio Serrano-Pedraza working on visual tests for cortical inhibition.
Jan 2010 – New paperusing my quantal analysis software out in Journal of Neuroscience.
Oct 2009 – New paperwith my PhD student Graeme Phillipson and with Andrew Glennerster of Reading University out in Journal of Vision, on definitions on vertical disparity.
Sep 2009 – awarded Graduate Diploma in Psychology, with distinction.
