Awesome, the effect is super strong! Do you know if there's an explanation for why we see this?

Woah, so strong! And like someone pointed out, I can see the brightness changes just by saccading up/down (even without the motion). Is there an explanation for why we see this?

Great article - I remember reading in Newton's biography that he stuck a blunt-end knitting needle between his eyeball and the bone so he could press the back of his eyeball and see colours.
He clearly didn't have any students at that point in his career 🙂

Haha what an anecdote! Are you really committed to science if you're not willing to stick a needle in your eye...

This was inspired by Eero Simoncelli's lecture at a fantastic summer school on computational vision at cold spring harbor.

The rod:cone ratio in mice is 33:1, in humans (outside the foveola) is 15:1, but is 1:7 in the 13-lined ground squirrel (13LGS). How is this dramatic shift in the rod:cone ratio achieved?/2

I randomly came across this book at the library and was pleasantly surprised to find out that the author is also a systems/computational neuroscientist, and I've actually read one of their papers! www.nature.com/articles/nn....
Volitional modulation of optically recorded calcium signals during neuroprosthetic learning - Nature Neuroscience
In this paper, Clancy and colleagues introduce an optically driven brain machine interface (BMI) based on the processing of optical calcium signals recorded using two-photon microscopy. When applied t...

And Albert Schweitzer's reverence for life: "I am life which wills to live, in the midst of life which wills to live".
Also, the story of Tinsley, the world checkers champion, beating the program Chinook by looking almost sixty moves into the future.
