A Narrative Literature Review About the Role of Microsaccades in Sports. [PDF]
In many daily and sport situations, people have to simultaneously perceive and process multiple objects and scenes in a short amount of time. A wrong decision may lead to a disadvantage for a team or for a single athlete, and during daily life (i.e ...

Working memory load modulates microsaccadic rate [PDF]
Microsaccades are tiny eye movements that individuals perform unconsciously during fixation. Despite that the nature and the functions of microsaccades are still lively debated, recent evidence has shown an association between these micro eye movements and higher order cognitive processes.

Stable Microsaccades and Microsaccade-Induced Global Alpha Band Phase Reset Across the Life Span [PDF]
To understand the effect of aging on microsaccade functions and brain physiologic responses, we quantified microsaccades and their physiologic correlates (including their interaction with alpha band brain oscillation) in normal subjects of different ages.Twenty-two normally sighted young (18 to 29 years), 22 middle-aged (31 to 55 years), and 22 elderly

The Effect of Microsaccades in the Primary Visual Cortex: Increased Synchronization in the Fovea during a Two-Phase Response Modulation. [PDF]
Our eyes are never still. Even when we attempt to fixate, the visual gaze is never motionless, as we continuously perform miniature oculomotor movements termed as fixational eye movements.

Microsaccades reflect attention shifts: a mini review of 20 years of microsaccade research
Microsaccades are small, involuntary eye movements that occur during fixation. Since the 1950s, researchers have conducted extensive research on the role of microsaccades in visual information processing, and found that they also play an important role ...

Coherent illusory contours reduce microsaccade frequency [PDF]
Synchronized high-frequency gamma band oscillations (30-100 Hz) are thought to mediate the binding of single visual features into whole-object representations. For example, induced gamma band oscillations (iGBRs) have been recorded ∼ 280 ms after the onset of a coherent Kanizsa triangle, but not after an incoherent equivalent shape.

Microsaccades and Visual-Spatial Working Memory [PDF]
Observers performed working memory tasks at varying retinal eccentricities, fixating centrally while microsaccade rates and directions were monitored. We show that microsaccades generate no interference in a working memory task, indicating that spatial ...

Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience significantly reduced quality of life when PD is complicated with Pisa syndrome (PS). PS is a postural abnormality associated with a lateral bending of the trunk, causing the patient to lean to one side ...

Adaptive modulation of microsaccades and saccade dynamics by global luminance. [PDF]
Background Microsaccades, a type of fixational eye movements occurring during visual fixation, are actively involved in the foveal vision and often linked to various attention and cognitive processes.

Stimulus representations in visual cortex shaped by spatial attention and microsaccades [PDF]
Significance This study reveals a crucial link between covert spatial attention, object processing, and microsaccades (MSs). While spatial attention alone does not affect tuning curves of V4 neurons, MSs directed toward an attended stimulus significantly
