Many gamers obsess about their FPS (frame per seconds). I was asked my opinion on the actual useful number of FPS (from a cognitive point a view) by pcgamer.com (here) and my answer made some of them snort into their coffee. I argued that the CPU/GPU resources usually allocated for displaying more than 24 FPS should rather be used for higher resolution (and smaller input lag). Thank you to Alex Wiltshire for this very good article.


It's HERE in their missing manual for bioscientists. It took them 3 months to publish it...but it still seems

I have also decided that I will keep track of which Sci-hub websites is running or down so that you can always find Sci-hub or its alternatives, with a page accessible from my home page.

In this news article for the bioscientist website BiteSize Bio, I describe how to avoid paying for science, that should be free anyway.

Nowadays, children are watching other children playing with toys on Youtube, and these are the most lucrative Youtube channels.

It's here but in French.

A study has showed that an insect (mantis) has developped stereoscopic vision. When such different lines of evolution converge on the same solution for depth perception, it is another kind of evidence for the importance of stereo vision.

I have been interviewed to illustrate our new projects on stereopsis recovery with amblyopic observers (in Geneva - Berkeely - Rochester) . I start at 9'30.

 You can also hear the broadcast here or here.

The project with Unreal Tournament is done mainly by Indu Vedamurthy in Rochester (NY, USA). Many thanks to her.
