| summary | I am part of a dwindling number of researchers who still use simplified visual psychophysical tasks (gratings, dots or when splashing out - luminance noise) alongside eye movement recordings and theory, to shed light on sensory mechanisms. I will first present theoretical work which asks whether Elementary Motion Detectors initially proposed for insect vision could serve human visual perception and predict interesting perceptual phenomena. I will then discuss results of a ball tracking task which taps into global mechanisms and isolates potentially learned from hard wired predictive signatures of sensorimotor processing. I will argue that such 'boring' tasks provide a high precision probe that can contribute to building better models of the typical and atypical sensory brain. |
