Control of eye movements and spatial attention.
Several lines of evidence suggest that planning eye movements and directing visuospatial attention share overlapping brain mechanisms. This study tested whether spatial attention can be enhanced by altering oculomotor signals within the brain. Monkeys performed a spatial attention task while neurons within the frontal eye field, an oculomotor area within prefrontal cortex, were electrically sti...
متن کاملSpatial constancy of attention across eye movements is mediated by the presence of visual objects.
Recent studies have shown that attentional facilitation lingers at the retinotopic coordinates of a previously attended position after an eye movement. These results are intriguing, because the retinotopic location becomes behaviorally irrelevant once the eyes have moved. Critically, in these studies participants were asked to maintain attention on a blank location of the screen. In the present...
متن کاملSpatial attention and latencies of saccadic eye movements
Recent theories of visual attention, such as the oculomotor readiness theory of Klein (1980) (Does oculomotor readiness mediate cognitive control of the visual attention. In: R. Nickerson, Attention and performance, Hillsdale: Erlbaum), the premotor theory of Rizzolati (1983) (Mechanisms of selective attention in mammals. In: J.P. Ewart, R.R. Capranica, D.J. Ingle, Advances in vertebrate Neuroe...
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 کاملEffects 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...
