09:03:59 I just arrived last night. I'm a bit terribly jet lagged, but from Germany I'm Ahmed Al Haedi and currently a group leader at cluster for advanced study of collective behavior and Max Planck Institute of animal behavior.
09:04:15 And yeah, I do everything forishing related. It's a problem.
09:04:18 I'm very obsessed with.
09:04:24 Foraging, now beginning. Just got my animal permit to do large skill foraging experiments.
09:04:32 And yeah, I love to swim and learn new languages now running Portuguese, because I'm doing field workshops and in northern Brazil.
09:04:42 So, yeah, if you want to talk about foraging, come to me specifically like Bisian approach to flourishing and stuff like this.
09:04:51 Cool. Nice to meet you all.
09:05:15 Hello, everyone. Good morning. So my name is. Zad. I'm also coming from Germany, from the south of Germany.
09:05:21 Tubingen. We're interested in vision and eye movements.
09:05:25 So we're approaching that problem from the fact that if a scene is completely stable, our active behavior puts us in a perpetual loop of State modulation, we're either deciding to move or compiling a motor command, or recovering from a previous movement and now if there's a sensory event
09:05:42 in the environment, it comes completely, asynchronously. With respect to our own internal state modulation.
09:05:48 So we're interested in studying this problem. We use the non-human primate as our animal model.
09:05:54 And we study sensory motor areas, both subcortical and cortical, with a very specific interest in in brainstem.
09:06:01 Neurophysiology, downstream of the superior colliculus in the lower brainstem among the topics that we're interested in are facational eye movements and larger eye movements.
09:06:11 How we generate them, how we control them. For that we develop some high performance, eye tracking techniques.
09:06:17 And we also study visual interruption. This idea of asynchronous input to the system trans-canadic integration, perceptual stability.
09:06:25 And we almost every single time do some human psychophysics to link our results to the human visual, perceptual condition and.
