Effects of attention shifts to stationary objects during steady-state smooth pursuit eye movements
A number of studies have shown that stationary backgrounds compromise smooth pursuit eye movements. It has been suggested that poor attentional selection of the pursuit target was responsible for reductions of pursuit gain. To quantify the detrimental effects of attention, we instructed observers to either pay attention to background objects or to ignore them. The to-be-attended object was indi...
متن کاملSpatial allocation of attention during smooth pursuit eye movements
We used a dual-task paradigm to investigate the spatial allocation of attention during smooth pursuit. Subjects tracked one character in a translating string of characters (block letter 8's), and during maintained pursuit, one of the characters briefly changed to an E or 3. Based on the ability of subjects to correctly discriminate the probed character, we found that the primary focus of attent...
متن کاملVisual perception during smooth pursuit eye movements.
With accurate measurement of eye position during smooth tracking, comparison of the retinal and perceived paths of spots of light moving in harmonic motion indicates little compensation for smooth pursuit eye movements by the perceptual system. The data suggest that during smooth pursuit. the perceptual system has access to information about direction of tracking. and assumes a relatively low s...
متن کاملDistractor interference during smooth pursuit eye movements.
When 2 targets for pursuit eye movements move in different directions, the eye velocity follows the vector average (S. G. Lisberger & V. P. Ferrera, 1997). The present study investigates the mechanisms of target selection when observers are instructed to follow a predefined horizontal target and to ignore a moving distractor stimulus. Results show that at 140 ms after distractor onset, horizont...
متن کاملBrain activation during smooth-pursuit eye movements.
A potential application of studying eye movements with functional MRI (fMRI) is to examine patient populations with known eye movement dysfunction, but the reliability with which normal subjects demonstrate activity in specific brain regions has not been established. To date, fMRI studies of smooth-pursuit eye movements have used relatively small numbers of subjects and have been restricted to ...
