Welcome to the web site of the Transsaccadic Object Perception group. Frequent visitors, please take a look at What's New in our web.
Short description of the project
About 3-4 times per second, a human observer exploring a real-world environment, makes a saccadic eye movement to a new fixation point. As a result, visual information is sampled in a series of different glimpses that are isolated in time. Our central question is how the informational contents of these successive snapshots of an object are integrated across saccades. Under the assumption that transsaccadic integration serves to expedite object recognition, we focus our research on two types of evidence that may be integrated transsaccadically: viewpoint information and semantic information. We intend to develop an account that is detailed and integrated with respect to the chronometry of the processes, to the type and location of the image information that is coded transsaccadically, and to the functionality of transsaccadic object perception in the context of real-world scene exploration and motion interpretation.
New
The following is a list of recent additions to our web. Whenever we publish a paper, write a specification, or add anything else to our web, we'll put a notice here. Every month we'll remove the oldest items. The most recent changes are listed first, and each item is linked to the page with the updated content.
Note: As the entire web site has just been created everything is brand-new, so the first month you'll only find links to specific topics we want to bring to your attention.
