Visual Stability and the Motion Aftereffect: A Psychophysical Study Revealing Spatial Updating
Eye movements create an ever-changing image of the world on the retina. In
particular, frequent saccades call for a compensatory mechanism to transform the
changing visual information into a stable percept. To this end, the brain
presumably uses internal copies of motor commands. Electrophysiological
recordings of visual neurons in the primate lateral intraparietal cortex, the
frontal eye fields, and the superior colliculus suggest that the receptive
fields (RFs) of special neurons shift towards their post-saccadic positions
before the onset of a saccade. However, the perceptual consequences of these
shifts remain controversial. We wanted to test in humans whether a remapping of
motion adaptation occurs in visual perception

Research in university colleges in Belgium
As in many other countries, university colleges in Belgium, are rather new, having developed mainly after the 1970s. The core business of the UCs was – and for many of the UC teachers still is – to train professionals such as accountants, Industrial engineers, infant- and primary-school teachers and nurses. Scientific research was
of minor importance, since it has long been considered the domain of universities.
Nevertheless, in recent decades, policymakers and some UC managers and teachers have insisted that UCs should also conduct scientific research. This article offers an overview of scientific research delivered at university colleges or universities of applied sciences.status: publishe
