Pre-saccadic perception: Separate time courses for enhancement and spatial pooling at the saccade target. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 We interact with complex scenes using eye movements to select targets of interest. Studies have shown that the future target of a saccadic eye movement is processed differently by the visual system.

Visual space constructed by saccade motor maps
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 How visual space is represented in the brain is an open question in neuroscience. Embodiment theories propose that spatial perception is structured by neural motor maps.

The Concurrent Programming of Saccades. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Sequences of saccades have been shown to be prepared concurrently however it remains unclear exactly what aspects of those saccades are programmed in parallel. To examine this participants were asked to make one or two target-driven saccades: a reflexive

Localization of a single tactile stimulus during saccadic eye movements [PDF]
i-PerceptionTo localize tactile events in external space, our perceptual system must transform skin-based locations into an external frame of reference. Such a transformation has been reported to involve reference frames that are unrelated to tactile sensations ...

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 ...

Presaccadic attentional shifts are not modulated by saccade amplitude [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHumans constantly explore the visual environment through saccades, bringing relevant visual stimuli to the center of the gaze. Before the eyes begin to move, visual attention is directed to the intended saccade target.

Physiological correlates of a simple saccadic-decision task to extended objects in superior colliculus [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Saccadic eye movements direct gaze to objects of interest. Human studies show that saccade initiation latency depends on the size of the saccade target (the “size-latency effect”), perhaps reflecting a tradeoff between the cost of making a ...

Executive function deficits in mild cognitive impairment: evidence from saccade tasks
Aging & Mental Health, 2021 Objectives: Early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is necessary to prevent irreversible brain damage caused by incipient Alzheimer’s disease. It has been showing that amnestic MCI (a-MCI) subjects exhibit subtle deficits in executive function

Investigating Arousal, Saccade Preparation, and Global Luminance Effects on Microsaccade Behavior
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Microsaccades, small saccadic eye movements occurring during fixation, have been suggested to be modulated by various sensory, cognitive, and affective processes relating to arousal.

Is mislocalization during saccades related to the position of the saccade target within the image or to the gaze position at the end of the saccade? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A stimulus that is flashed around the time of a saccade tends to be mislocalized in the direction of the saccade target. Our question is whether the mislocalization is related to the position of the saccade target within the image or to the gaze position
