SCIoI at Zeiss Großplanetarium: Between Glances – The Hidden Dynamics of Vision

Vision is a highly dynamic process. With every movement of our eyes, perception shifts: attention moves ahead, visual information is enhanced or suppressed, and our impressions are continuously reconstructed. The fact that we nevertheless experience the world as stable is one of the brain’s most remarkable achievements.

In the immersive setting of the planetarium dome, SCIoI PI Martin Rolfs and alumna Nina Hanning will bring these hidden dynamics of vision to life on an entirely new scale. We invite the audience to take part in a live experiment in which cutting-edge research is experienced together.
