Parallel construction of object motion from retina to cortex

Javier Weddington, David D. Au, Joshua B. Melander, Youssef Faragalla, Zaki Alaoui, Stephen A. Baccus

The paper shows that post-retinal brain areas recompute object motion sensitivity rather than inherit it from the retina, revealing parallel specialization in motion processing.

Single-camera, calibration-free gaze estimation using corneal reflections

David D. Au, Joshua B. Melander, Javier Weddington, Youssef Faragalla, Zaki Alaoui, Shenghua Liu, Qing Xu, Stephen A. Baccus

This paper introduces a calibration-free corneal-reflection eye tracking system for head-fixed mice using a single camera and multiple fiducial LEDs, achieving sub-degree accuracy and improving receptive field measurements.

Circadian regulation of light-evoked attraction/avoidance in day- vs. night-biting mosquitoes

Lisa Soyeon Baik, Ceazar Nave, David D. Au, Tom Guda, Joshua A. Chevez, Anandasankar Ray, Todd C. Holmes

This study shows that light-evoked attraction/avoidance behaviors in mosquitoes are circadian and vary between day- and night-biting species.
