I wrote this a bit less than a year ago. This #MothersDay, it's my ardent wish that there is less and less need for things like this to be written chicagomaroon.com/article/20…
#eNeuro: Findings from García-Lázaro and Teng show that the brain distinguishes between real and synthetic reverberation. This provides insights for enhancing realism in immersive virtual reality, music, and film production and using reverberation to guide navigation for blind and visually impaired people. @SKERIResearcheneuro.org/lookup/DOI/10.152…
Visual illusions enter the political arena in this allusion to the scramble of 3D Magic Eye field emerging into a clear 3D image. The Magic Eye concept was developed @SKERIResearch by Dr. Christopher Tyler and is still providing popular and scientific insights today. 🗳️

A pandemic later, our study "Smooth pursuit deficits impact dynamic visual acuity in macular degeneration" is finally out! We further examine PRL use in pursuit and show that it's gain, not retinal pursuit location that affects target discrimination.

After many months of waiting and anticipating, excited to (re)start work looking at implications of foveal loss in AMD on compensatory eye movements and gaze shifts! This work will be funded by @NatEyeInstitute for the next 5(ish) years.
