Byron gives talk, wins award at the Biennial Perceptual Learning Workshop
The travel award is Byron’s third of a busy summer, earned for his innovative work simulating the effects of scotomas on vision and eye movements
Byron received a travel award to attend and give a talk about his research at the 2022 Biennial Perceptual Learning Workshop, held August 14th - 19th in Alyeska, Alaska. This rare opportunity followed on the heels of two more travel awards that Byron earned for his exciting work using eye tracking to simulate artificial scotomas (damaged regions of the visual field) and their effects on visual processing and eye movements. For two weeks in July, Byron received a travel award from the Helmsley Charitable Trust to attend the prestigious two-week course for Computational Neuroscience: Vision at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. And in late May, Byron’s poster “The Effect of a Simulated Scotoma on Rapid Scene Understanding” was selected for a travel fellowship to present at the Center for Visual Science's 32nd Symposium on Active Vision, hosted at the University of Rochester/Memorial Art Gallery (see photo). Congratulations, Byron, on a busy summer, it’s good to see the great work acknowledged!
