Congratulations @leahgjohnston.bsky.social for winning the @optica-fvm.bsky.social YIA!
Most #visionscience folks know that stabilized retinal images fade. Fewer know that stabilized, but flickering, images also fade. Even fewer know that the flicker-fading doesn't take place in the retina.
Congrats to this year’s Young Investigator Award winners #OpticaFVM! 🎉

Leah Johnston "Profound perceptual fading of stabilized flicker cannot be accounted for by RGC desensitization"

Joseph Emerson "Different contextual modulation mechanisms exhibit distinct laminar profiles in human V1"

This paper is the result of >20 yrs of hard work by talented students, postdocs and collaborators, but none more than my co-author Ren Ng and his team in EECS.

Such an honor for me to receive this award named after Bob Boynton, who I never knew, but whose approach to science was an inspiration for me. His son just happened to attending #VSS2025 when the award was announced. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
