Once started, you have a timeline on the bottom that let’s you fast forward or back up. The videos are dark and grainy and the sound is often buzzy but it’s what we have, think of them as reminders of the presentations. The last presentation by David Burr and the following discussion did not record, or apparently they are still recording, in any case, they are not yet available.

Opinion piece on remapping accepted in TiCS
Jan0
Our opinion article “Visual stability based on remapping of attention pointers” has just been accepted in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. In this paper we describe a new “sparse remapping” interpretation of how we keep track of things in the world. You find a preprint here.
