Covert shifts of attention precede involuntary eye movements.
There is considerable evidence that covert visual attention precedes voluntary eye movements to an intended location. What happens to covert attention when an involuntary saccadic eye movement is made? In agreement with other researchers, we found that attention and voluntary eye movements are tightly coupled in such a way that attention always shifts to the intended location before the eyes be...
متن کاملFixational eye movements are not an index of covert attention.
The debate about the nature of fixational eye movements has revived recently with the claim that microsaccades reflect the direction of attentional shifts. A number of studies have shown an association between the direction of attentional cues and the direction of microsaccades. We sought to determine whether microsaccades in attentional tasks are causally related to behavior. Is reaction time ...
متن کاملShifts of Covert Visual Attention:
Shifts of covert attention differ depending on whether the shift is exogenously or endogenously motivated. The present study examined whether crossing imaginary meridia in the visual field influences shifts directed by central or peripheral cues. A two-alternative forced-choice discrimination task was employed under direction from 70 % valid central and peripheral cues. In comparison to central...
متن کاملFeature-binding errors after eye movements and shifts of attention.
When people move their eyes, the eye-centered (retinotopic) locations of objects must be updated to maintain world-centered (spatiotopic) stability. Here, we demonstrated that the attentional-updating process temporarily distorts the fundamental ability to bind object locations with their features. Subjects were simultaneously presented with four colors after a saccade-one in a precued spatioto...
متن کاملSpontaneous microsaccades reflect shifts in covert attention.
Microsaccade rate during fixation is modulated by the presentation of a visual stimulus. When the stimulus is an endogenous attention cue, the ensuing microsaccades tend to be directed toward the cue. This finding has been taken as evidence that microsaccades index the locus of spatial attention. But the vast majority of microsaccades that subjects make are not triggered by visual stimuli. Unde...
