We moved to Blue Sky @aplabur.bsky.social, follow us there!

Happy to share our last research work on Foveal Crowding with A. Clark (@clark_ashley_m) and A. Huynh, featured in "This Week in The Journal"! jneurosci.org/content/44/48/…

Congratulations to Riccardo Brandolani @RBrandolani (Visiting grad student from @Unibo) who presented his APLab work at the Second annual Theoretical and Applied Neuroscience Workshop, in Napoli (Italy) and was selected for the best poster and invited to give a talk! 🥳

Congratulations to Sanjana Kapisthalam @Sanjana78044408 for getting the Best Poster Award at the CVS retreat at the University of Rochester! 🥳@CvsUor

A new #NEIfunded study from researchers at University of Barcelona and University of Rochester provides insight into how we understand visual information in complex environments, like while driving a car. Learn more here: bit.ly/4eLQY3g @UniBarcelona @UofR

Congratulations to Dr. Moon who just defended his thesis dissertation on Oct 8th 🥳👏! Fantastic job! We are so grateful for all you have done for the lab! We wish you the best for your future career...and that maybe at some point you will come back to academia!! @CvsUor
