Information-optimal local features automatically attract covert and overt attention
Scientific Reports, 2022 In fast vision, local spatial properties of the visual scene can automatically capture the observer’s attention. We used specific local features, predicted by a constrained maximum-entropy model to be optimal information-carriers, as candidate “salient ...

Inferential eye movement control while following dynamic gaze
eLife, 2023 Attending to other people’s gaze is evolutionary important to make inferences about intentions and actions. Gaze influences covert attention and triggers eye movements.

Back to basics: The effects of block vs. interleaved trial administration on pro- and anti-saccade performance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The pro and anti-saccade task (PAT) is a widely used tool in the study of overt and covert attention with promising potential role in neurocognitive and psychiatric assessment.

The evolution of covert, silent infection as a parasite strategy [PDF]
, 2009 Many parasites and pathogens cause silent/covert infections in addition to the more obvious infectious disease-causing pathology. Here, we consider how assumptions concerning superinfection, protection and seasonal host birth and transmission rates ...

Covert research and adult protection and safeguarding: An ethical dilemma? [PDF]
, 2014 Purpose: This paper aims to consider the contentious issue of covert research in studying the social contexts of vulnerable groups. It explores its potential utility in areas where overt strategies may be problematic or denied; and examines and ...

Aging increases compensatory saccade amplitude in the video head impulse test
Frontiers in Neurology, 2016 Objective: Rotational vestibular function declines with age resulting in saccades as a compensatory mechanism to improve impaired gaze stability. Small reductions in rotational vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain that would be considered clinically ...

Evaluation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex in patients with chronic otitis media
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2022 Introduction: In recent years, scientific evidence has shown that chronic otitis media may cause balance and vestibular dysfunction. Objective: To compare the results of the video head impulse test (gain and symmetry of the vestibulo-ocular reflex and ...

LAG-1: A dynamic, integrative model of learning, attention, and gaze
PLoS ONE, 2022 It is clear that learning and attention interact, but it is an ongoing challenge to integrate their psychological and neurophysiological descriptions. Here we introduce LAG-1, a dynamic neural field model of learning, attention and gaze, that we fit to ...

Atypical modulation of face-elicited saccades in autism spectrum disorder in a double-step saccade paradigm [PDF]
, 2011 Atypical development of face processing is a major characteristic in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which could be due to atypical interactions between subcortical and cortical face processing. The current study investigated the saccade planning towards
