We are hosting the Fife_tay Vision Group this evening.
We have just had a paper on motion-in-depth published in Vision. This work demonstrates that different types of stimuli used to drive the Inter-Ocular Velocity Difference (IOVD) mechanism, may be driving different mechanisms, rather than the same one, as sometimes assumed.
Investigating human visual sensitivity to binocular motion-in-depth for anti- and de-correlated random-dot stimuli

We’re all ready to present our public engagement displays on 3D vision and animal camouflage and warning signals, for Explorathon 2018. We’re at the Dundee Science Centre from 10am-5pm on Saturday 29th September.
Welcome to Andrew Chua and Becky Maguire who are joining the lab to start their PhD’s.
This week Olivier Penacchio will be representing the lab at the European Conference on Visual Perception. He will be giving a talk on Thursday afternoon, in the session on Visual Search and Bistable Perception, entitled:
Ultra-rapid detection of animal visual warning signals, Olivier Penacchio, Julie M. Harris
Our paper has been accepted for publication in Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science:
Sensitivity to velocity- and disparity-based cues to motion-in-depth with and without spared stereopsis in binocular visual impairment. Maloney, Kaestner, Bruce, Bloj, Harris & Wade. IOVS, in press.
Alex Mitchell has won a place at the prestigious Summer School for Visual Neuroscience: from Spikes to Awareness in Germany, later this summer.
Summer students Winnie Li, Jasmine Rodriguez and Valeriya Ryabchina join the group this week, to spend some time learning how vision science works and engaging with lab members and their science.
Alex Mitchell was one of 7 finalists this afternoon in the St. Andrews ‘3 minute thesis’ competition….well done Alex!
Andrew Chua has been awarded a St Leonard’s College International Doctoral Fees Scholarship and will be joining the Harris lab in September 2018 as a PhD student.
