Spatio-Temporal Correlations of Natural Images during Fixational Eye Movements
نویسنده
چکیده
The spatio-temporal correlation of natural images during fixational eye instability is studied. The statistics of eye movements and static natural images are first analyzed separately and then combined to obtain an analytical formula for the correlation function. Previous work on this subject is presented and important shortcomings are pointed out. A more rigorous and general formula is derived and tested numerically.

Temporal Encoding of Spatial Information during Active Visual Fixation
Humans and other species continually perform microscopic eye movements, even when attending to a single point. These movements, which include drifts and microsaccades, are under oculomotor control, elicit strong neural responses, and have been thought to serve important functions. The influence of these fixational eye movements on the acquisition and neural processing of visual information rema...
متن کاملFixational eye movements during viewing of dynamic natural scenes
Even during periods of fixation our eyes undergo small amplitude movements. These movements are thought to be essential to the visual system because neural responses rapidly fade when images are stabilized on the retina. The considerable recent interest in fixational eye movements (FEMs) has thus far concentrated on idealized experimental conditions with artificial stimuli and restrained head m...
متن کاملNon-linear retinal processing supports invariance during fixational eye movements
Fixational eye movements can rapidly shift the retinal image, but typically remain unnoticed. We identify and simulate a model mechanism for the suppression of erroneous motion signals under fixational eye movements. This mechanism exploits the non-linearities common to many classes of large retinal ganglion cells in the mammalian retina, and negates the need for extra-retinal signals or explic...
متن کاملA model of the dynamics of retinal activity during natural visual fixation.
During visual fixation, small eye movements keep the retinal image continuously in motion. It is known that neurons in the visual system are sensitive to the spatiotemporal modulations of luminance resulting from this motion. In this study, we examined the influence of fixational eye movements on the statistics of neural activity in the macaque's retina during the brief intersaccadic periods of...

The newest generation of confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopes with adaptive optics correction of ocular aberrations provides retinal images of unprecedented resolution, allowing for real-time imaging of photoreceptors in the living human eye. Natural fixational eye movements made by the subject/patient during recording produce distortions that are unique in each frame. Correction...
