Evidence for grid cells in a human memory network . Nature . 2010 Jan 20; Authors: Doeller CF, Barry C, Burgess N Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex of freely moving rats provide a strikingly periodic representation of self-location which is indicative of very specific computational mechanisms. However, the existence of grid cells in humans and their distribution throughout the brain are unknown. Here we show that the preferred firing directions of directionally modulated grid cells in rat entorhinal cortex are aligned with the grids, and that the spatial organization of...

Via Mauro Cherubini's blog The Gaze Group at the IT University of Copenhagen  is developing an open-source eye-tracking application that will provide a low-cost alternative to commercial gaze tracking systems. The ITU Gaze Tracker  is video-based and works with any videocamera or a webcam equipped with infrared nightvision More to explore: San Agustin, J., Skovsgaard, H., Hansen,...
