Nimrod Shaham'm poster, Neural adaptation may explain anomalous diffusion in fixational eye motion (with co-authors Nadav Ben-Shushan and PI Yoram Burak), won the best poster award at the Faculty day of the Faculty of Sciences. The work proposes a neural mechanism that may underlie fixational eye motion, a continuous form of motion which occurs in humans and primates during fixation on visual targets.

Nimrod is a graduate student in physics in the research group of Yoram Burak, which is part of the Racah Institute of Physics and the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences at the Hebrew University. 

The competition included submissions in all areas of research at the Faculty of Science: physics, chemistry, the life sciences, mathematics, earth science, computer science, and applied physics.
