| Claude Desplan: The color vision circuitry in Drosophila |
 In the last talk of the symposium, NYU's Claude Desplan talked about research on color vision in Drosophila his student Satoko Yamaguchi (supervised by genius Reinhard Wolf) is doing in my home town Würzburg in the lab ...[more] |

| Symposium: re-emergence of simple systems |
| This symposium was all about invertebrate model systems for understanding how brains grapple with real-world complexity. I'll try to blog the single talks and then I'll have to see how I can cover the rest of the meeting....[more] |

| Jan Ramirez: The neuronal basis of inspiration |
| The first plenary lecture of the penultimate day at ICN was by Jan Ramirez. The title apparently was a play on words as his talk was about the inhaling component of respiration, inspiration. He started off with some bas...[more] |

| ad-hoc presentations at ICN |
| This is a format that is unique to the ICN meeting: short (10-15min) talks which are usually put together during or just before the meeting with sizzling hot brand new data. This 2h session was very exciting featuring to...[more] |

| Robert de Ruyter van Steveninck: Velocity estimation and natural visual input signals |
| The symposium started with Robert de Ruyter van Steveninck talking about the fly visual system. He gave an overview of the classical optomotor studies from the 60s and 70s which dealt with ideal visual stimuli. He then w...[more] |

| Martin Egelhaaf: Active vision: a strategy of complexity reduction in behavioral control |
| The second talk in this symposium was by Martin Egelhaaf on how the blowfly brain processes self-generated visual input. His first main point was that optic flow must first be dissected into translational and rotational ...[more] |

| Roy Ritzmann: Movement through complex terrains by insects and robots |
| Roy Ritzman works on cockroaches and builds robots from the data he gathers in the insects. Cool stuff! He started by presenting videos of cockroaches with various lesions to their brains, which lead to very specific impa...[more] |

| Jack Gray: Complex behavior from compact systems |
| Jack Gray is the organizer of the symposium and works on locusts and moths. His main research interest is in collision avoidance in flying insects. He described an identified motion sensitive pathway from the eyes to the...[more] |
