Microsaccades strongly modulate but do not directly cause the EEG N2pc marker of spatial attention. [PDF]
The N2pc is a popular human-neuroscience marker of covert and internal spatial attention that occurs 200-300 ms after being prompted to shift attention-a time window also characterized by the spatial biasing of small fixational eye movements known as ...

Microsaccades reflect attention shifts: a mini review of 20 years of microsaccade research [PDF]
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 ...

Microsaccades Are Coupled to Heartbeat [PDF]
During visual fixation, the eye generates microsaccades and slower components of fixational eye movements that are part of the visual processing strategy in humans. Here, we show that ongoing heartbeat is coupled to temporal rate variations in the generation of microsaccades.

Impact of Shooting Distance on Oculomotor Strategy in Basketball Shooting. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine the role of eye movements during basketball shooting from various distances. Fourteen male basketball players, equipped with an eye tracker and an inertial sensor, performed 40 shots on a basketball court, divided into free throws and 3‐point shots.

Effects of visual blur on microsaccades during visual exploration [PDF]
Microsaccades shift the image on the fovea and counteract visual fading. They also serve as an optimal sampling strategy while viewing complex visual scenes. Microsaccade production relies on the amount of retinal error or acuity demand of a visual task.

The behavioural and neurophysiological modulation of microsaccades in monkeys [PDF]
Systematic modulations of microsaccades have been observed in humans during covert orienting. We show here that monkeys are a suitable model for studying the neurophysiology governing these modulations of microsaccades.

Microsaccade-induced prolongation of saccade latencies depends on microsaccade amplitude
Fixations consist of small movements including microsaccades, i.e., rapid flicks in eye position that replace the retinal image by up to 1 degree of visual angle.

Attentional shifts bias microsaccade direction but do not cause new microsaccades
Brain circuitry that controls where we look also contributes to attentional selection of visual contents outside current fixation, or content within the spatial layout of working memory.

Microsaccades Do Not Give Rise to a Conscious Feeling of Agency for Their Sensorimotor Consequences in Visual Perception [PDF]
Feeling of agency (FoA)—the experience of controlling one’s actions and their outcomes—has been widely studied for bodily movements. Here, we investigated if microsaccades—small ballistic eye movements—are equally characterized by FoA and if intention ...

Microsaccades are small-amplitude, fixational eye movements that are largely thought to be involuntary. Here, the authors demonstrate that monkeys (and humans) can be easily trained to respond to a remembered target location with a volitional ...
