Lab of adventurers imaging brain and visually guided behavior in the freely moving animal here in Bonn Germany
Bonn, Germany
Joined October 2021
Freely chasing mammals, collab with David Fitzpatrick, we show how eye movements enable ferrets to simultaneously navigate and chase fleeing objects. Eye saccades align optic flow with retinal specializations during object pursuit in freely moving ferrets:

Motion blur on the retina degrades vision acuity. How do visual systems of animals chasing prey solve this to retain acuity? Wallace et al. show that saccadic eye movements measured in freely...

In reconstructed eye-views saccades directed the retinal specialization (area centralis) to point in the animals intended direction of movement, which was also the area of least motion blur. Saccades were independent of the target, as they also occurred during target absence.

We have a step by step To-Do list for setting up and calibrating the cameras as well as a part-list for ordering the bits and pieces. Just email us and we will help you as much as we can to get this going in your lab.

As the brain and spinal cord drive muscles and muscles move bones, we are using this method to read out the summation of complex neural processes as animals estimate gap distances and jump (or not).

Motion kinematics of bones and joints can be accurately inferred as the animal freely behaves and performs complex behaviors. This approach gets around the problem of tracking joint kinetics when the bones are covered by fur and surface tissue.
