Saccadic Facilitation in Natural Backgrounds
In visual systems with a fovea, only a small portion of the visual field can be analyzed with high accuracy. Saccadic eye movements shift that center of gaze around several times a second. Saccades have been characterized in great detail and depend critically on a number of visual properties of the stimuli. However, typical experiments have used bright spots on dark backgrounds, while our natur...
متن کاملSaccadic facilitation by modulation of microsaccades in natural backgrounds
Saccades move objects of interest into the center of the visual field for high-acuity visual analysis. White, Stritzke, and Gegenfurtner (Current Biology, 18, 124-128, 2008) have shown that saccadic latencies in the context of a structured background are much shorter than those with an unstructured background at equal levels of visibility. This effect has been explained by possible preactivatio...
متن کاملPeri-saccadic natural vision.
The fundamental role of the visual system is to guide behavior in natural environments. To optimize information transmission, many animals have evolved a non-homogeneous retina and serially sample visual scenes by saccadic eye movements. Such eye movements, however, introduce high-speed retinal motion and decouple external and internal reference frames. Until now, these processes have only been...
متن کاملNeural saccadic response estimation during natural viewing.
Studying neural activity during natural viewing conditions is not often attempted. Isolating the neural response of a single saccade is necessary to study neural activity during natural viewing; however, the close temporal spacing of saccades that occurs during natural viewing makes it difficult to determine the response to a single saccade. Herein, a general linear model (GLM) approach is appl...
متن کاملUnconscious cueing effects in saccadic eye movements – Facilitation and inhibition in temporal and nasal hemifield
The current study investigated whether subliminal spatial cues can affect the oculomotor system. In addition, we performed the experiment under monocular viewing conditions. By limiting participants to monocular viewing conditions, we can examine behavioral temporal-nasal hemifield asymmetries. These behavioral asymmetries may arise from an anatomical asymmetry in the retinotectal pathway. The ...
