    A gaze bias in the mind’s eye

    Can the eye movements we make when there is nothing to look at shed light on our cognitive processes? A new study shows that tiny gaze shifts reveal people’s attended locations in memorized—rather than visual—...

    Opportunities and challenges for a maturing science of consciousness

    Scientific research on consciousness is critical to multiple scientific, clinical, and ethical issues. The growth of the field could also be beneficial to several areas including neurology and mental health re...

    Fixational Eye Movements

    There is too much going on around us to see everything at once, or to simultaneously process all the information in our field of view. Instead, we normally direct our gaze to parts of the scene that are partic...

    Effects of driving time on microsaccadic dynamics

    Driver fatigue is a common cause of car accidents. Thus, the objective detection of driver fatigue is a first step toward the effective management of fatigue-related traffic accidents. Here, we investigated th...

    The impact of microsaccades on vision: towards a unified theory of saccadic function

  7. Our eyes are never still. Even when we attempt to fix our gaze, small ocular motions — generally undetectable to the naked eye — shift our eye position. These ...

    Vision’s First Steps: Anatomy, Physiology, and Perception in the Retina, Lateral Geniculate Nucleus, and Early Visual Cortical Areas

    This chapter reviews the functional anatomical bases of visual perception in the retina, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) in the visual thalamus, the primary visual cortex (area V1, also called the striate...

    Attention and awareness in stage magic: turning tricks into research

    Magic tricks require the manipulation of the audience's attention and awareness. Macknik, Martinez-Conde and their magician co-authors describe the visual and cognitive illusions that underlie many magic trick...

    Task difficulty modulates the activity of specific neuronal populations in primary visual cortex

    Spatial attention works to modulate neuronal responses as early as V1, according to this study. Using electrophysiological recordings in monkey primary visual cortex, the authors found that there are two disti...

    The role of fixational eye movements in visual perception

  13. Fixational eye movements are small displacements of the eyeballs which ensure that vision does not fade during fixation. There are three classes — tremor (the ...

    Microsaccadic eye movements and firing of single cells in the striate cortex of macaque monkeys

    When viewing a stationary object, we unconsciously make small, involuntary eye movements or ‘microsaccades’. If displacements of the retinal image are prevented, the image quickly fades from perception. To und...
