Microsaccades: a neurophysiological analysis [PDF]
Microsaccades are the largest and fastest of the fixational eye movements, which are involuntary eye movements produced during attempted visual fixation. In recent years, the interaction between microsaccades, perception and cognition has become one of the most rapidly growing areas of study in visual neuroscience.

Suboptimal eye movements for seeing fine details. [PDF]
Human eyes are never stable, even during attempts of maintaining gaze on a visual target. Considering transient response characteristics of retinal ganglion cells, a certain amount of motion of the eyes is required to efficiently encode information and ...

Microsaccades Track Location-Based Object Rehearsal in Visual Working Memory
Besides controlling eye movements, the brain's oculomotor system has been implicated in the control of covert spatial attention and the rehearsal of spatial information in working memory.

Bayesian microsaccade detection
Microsaccades are high-velocity fixational eye movements, with special roles in perception and cognition. The default microsaccade detection method is to determine when the smoothed eye velocity exceeds a threshold. We have developed a new method, Bayesian microsaccade detection (BMD), which performs inference based on a simple statistical model of eye

Learning to Recognize Actions from Limited Training Examples Using a Recurrent Spiking Neural Model [PDF]
A fundamental challenge in machine learning today is to build a model that can learn from few examples. Here, we describe a reservoir based spiking neural model for learning to recognize actions with a limited number of labeled videos.

Saccadic latency in amblyopia. [PDF]
We measured saccadic latencies in a large sample (total n = 459) of individuals with amblyopia or risk factors for amblyopia, e.g., strabismus or anisometropia, and normal control subjects.

Dummy eye measurements of microsaccades: testing the influence of system noise and head movements on microsaccade detection in a popular video-based eye tracker [PDF]
Whereas early studies of microsaccades have predominantly relied on custom-built eye trackers and manual tagging of microsaccades, more recent work tends to use video-based eye tracking and automated algorithms for microsaccade detection. While data from

Abstract Despite strong evidence to the contrary in the literature, microsaccades are overwhelmingly described as involuntary eye movements. Here we show in both human subjects and monkeys that individual microsaccades of any direction can easily be triggered: (1) on demand, based on an arbitrary instruction, (2) without any special ...

Simultaneous recordings of ocular microtremor and microsaccades with a piezoelectric sensor and a video-oculography system [PDF]
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 are directed toward the midpoint between targets in a variably cued attention task
Significance Small fixational eye movements called microsaccades are thought to “point” toward a location that is being attended in the visual periphery.
