Daan van Es did his PhD in the lab on how the brain maps visual space. His main supervisor was Tomas Knapen, together with Jan Theeuwes. In the Human Connectome Project retinotopy data he found five ipsilateral visual field maps in three clusters of the human cerebellum, and released an atlas of them (van Es et al., 2019).
He also showed that spatial and feature-based attention interact in how human visual cortex samples visual space (van Es et al., 2018), and that fast learning drives the adaptation of reactive saccades as much as slow learning does, but is nearly absent for voluntary saccades (van Es & Knapen, 2019).
