The mechanism of relative disparities revealed!
Or kind of! This is quiet a technical paper but I think it shows a very coherent picture about what is actually happening: absolute disparities for depth cannot be accessed directly but need to be transformed into relative disparities or used for vergence movements. See the paper for more! |
Newborns prefer when speech is synchronised with lips
I helped Bahai Guellai on her impressive piece of work: we show that babies can make the difference between lip-synchronised and lip-unsynchronised speech, which means they could use that information for lip-reading and learn to talk. It is very surprising when you think they are just born a few hours ago and can already do that. See the paper here!
