1 minute read

Published:

During my time at Queen’s I collaborated with Renato Moraes, a professor from Universidade de São Paulo, who was on sabbatical at the time. Our paper Microsaccadic modulation in goal-directed reaching has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Vision special issue “Eye Movements as Windows to the Mind: The Integration of Eye Movements, Perception, Attention, and Cognition – Honoring the Contributions of Eileen Kowler”. I have written a little poem inspired by “Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!” by Dr. Seuss.
