Summer School and Annual Meeting OPAL Marie Curie Network hosted by @VioBio_LaB

A node of the Marie Curie ITN Network “Optical and Adaptational Limits of Vision” (EU FP7 Program), the Visual Optics and Biophotonics Lab (Instituto de Optica) will be hosting the First Summer School and Second Annual Meeting of the network. Invited speakers at the Summer School include Michael Webster (University of Nevada), Maciej Wojtowski (Copernicus University) and Nework PIs and members from University of Tubingen, University of Murcia, University of Crete, KTH, Rodenstok and Institute of Optics (CSIC). Keynote lectures will be delivered by OPAL Advisory Board members Stephen Burns (Indiana University) and Dan-Eric Nilsson (University of Lund)

Subjects adaption to blur magnitude and orientation of their aberrations published in Journal of Vision

We studied to which extent subjects are adapted to the magnitude of the aberrations or the orientation of their own aberrations, by looking at their best perceived focus for pure defocus, and (keeping blur magnitude constant) their preferred oriented pattern. We found that subjects are primarily adapted to the overall amount of blur, and to a lesser extent to blur orientation. The study is a collaborative effort between VioBio_Lab and Michael Webster’s lab at the University of Nevada.
