What Determines the Direction of Microsaccades? [PDF]
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2010 During visual fixation, our eyes are not entirely still. Instead, small eye movements, such as microsaccades, can be observed. We here investigate what determines the direction and frequency of these microsaccades, as this information might help to ...

Vision, Perception, and Attention Through the Lens of Microsaccades: Mechanisms and Implications [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015 Microsaccades are small saccades. Neurophysiologically, microsaccades are generated using similar brainstem mechanisms as larger saccades. This suggests that peri-saccadic changes in vision that accompany large saccades might also be expected to ...

Can Microsaccades Be Used for Biometrics?
Sensors, 2022 Human eyes are in constant motion. Even when we fix our gaze on a certain point, our eyes continue to move. When looking at a point, scientists have distinguished three different fixational eye movements (FEM)—microsaccades, drift and tremor.

Microsaccades during reading. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Recent research has shown that microsaccades contribute to high acuity vision. However, little is known about whether microsaccades also play a role in daily activities, such as reading, that do not involve stimuli at the limit of spatial resolution ...

Simultaneous recordings of ocular microtremor and microsaccades with a piezoelectric sensor and a video-oculography system [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 Our eyes are in continuous motion. Even when we attempt to fix our gaze, we produce so called “fixational eye movements”, which include microsaccades, drift, and ocular microtremor (OMT).

Microsaccades and Exploratory Saccades in a Naturalistic Environment
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2011 Microsaccades, small saccadic eye movements made during fixation, might accompany shifts of visual attention, serve to refresh the retinal image, or have some other function.

Microsaccades as a marker not a cause for attention-related modulation
eLife, 2022 Recent evidence suggests that microsaccades are causally linked to the attention-related modulation of neurons—specifically, that microsaccades toward the attended location are required for the subsequent changes in firing rate.

Microsaccadic behavior when developing a complex dynamical activity [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2018 Microsaccades are sensitive to changes of perceptual inputs as well as modulations of cognitive states. There are just a few works analyzing microsaccades while subjects are processing complex information and fewer when subjects make predictions about ...

Fixational eye movement correction of blink-induced gaze position errors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Our eyes move continuously. Even when we attempt to fix our gaze, we produce "fixational" eye movements including microsaccades, drift and tremor. The potential role of microsaccades versus drifts in the control of eye position has been debated for ...

Influence of Task-evoked Mental Workloads on Oculo-motor indices and their connections [PDF]
EAI Endorsed Transactions on Context-aware Systems and Applications, 2021 The frequency of microsaccades is often used as a measurement of eye movement in order to estimate the level of effort required, because some indices of oculo-motors suggest the level of mental activity.
