Title: Modeling space and clocks constraints in visual information processing
University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Abstract: Saccades are rapid movements of the eyes made to reposition our gaze that are automatic and go unnoticed. It is noteworthy that both these eye movements and the image motion escape notice. Recent experiments provides evidences that perisaccadic stimuli are largely mislocalized in space and there is a distortion of the perceived time. We present an adaptive feedback model which, through a temporal-to-spatial transformation is able to explain the experimental data on relationships between vision and time/space perception. We also discuss grid implementation for parameter estimation of this dynamical system model.
Biosketch: Dr Pietro Lió has a background in both Engineering and Biology and is currently Senior Lecturer at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory (which is the dept of Computer Science of the University of Cambridge), and Director of Studies at Fitzwilliam College. He undertakes research and teaching in the general area of Computational Biology, System Biology, Networks and Bioinspired computing/technology. He is a member of the Cambridge Neuroscience Initiative, Cambridge Computational Biology Institute, and Cambridge - MIT initiative. He has more than 120 original peer-reviewed research publications and one of his papers is the most frequently accessed paper in Bioinformatics . He is editor and referee of several international Journals in the field of Bioinformatics and has acted as chair and in the program committee of several workshops. Previous appointments include: Researcher at the European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, Cambridge (2002-2004), Research Associate at Dept. of Genetics, University of Cambridge. and Research assistant in the Genetic Epidemiology group, dept of Human Genetics, University of Southampton, UK (1995-1997).
