The objectives of the present commentary are to show that (1) one important theoretical property of iconic memory is inconsistent with a retinotopic icon, (2) data difficult for the notion of an icon do not necessarily challenge the notion of an iconic ...

Computational Model for Predicting Visual Fixations from Childhood to Adulthood [PDF]
How people look at visual information reveals fundamental information about themselves, their interests and their state of mind. While previous visual attention models output static 2-dimensional saliency maps, saccadic models aim to predict not only where observers look at but also how they move their eyes to explore the scene.

The time course of attentional and oculomotor capture reveals a common cause [PDF]
Eye movements are often misdirected toward a distractor when it appears abruptly, an effect known as oculomotor capture. Fundamental differences between eye movements and attention have led to questions about the relationship of oculomotor capture to the

Saccade-Contingent Rendering [PDF]
Battery-constrained power consumption, compute limitations, and high frame rate requirements in head-mounted displays present unique challenges in the drive to present increasingly immersive and comfortable imagery in virtual reality. However, humans are not equally sensitive to all regions of the visual field, and perceptually-optimized rendering ...

The Hilbert transform of horizontal gaze position during natural image classification by saccades [PDF]
Eye movements are a behavioral response that can be involved in tasks as complicated as natural image classification. This report confirms that pro- and anti-saccades can be used by a volunteer to designate target (animal) or non-target images that were centered 16 degrees off the fixation point.

Decoding Saccadic Eye Movements from Brain Signals Using an Endovascular Neural Interface [PDF]
An Oculomotor Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) records neural activity from regions of the brain involved in planning eye movements and translates this activity into control commands. While previous successful oculomotor BCI studies primarily relied on invasive microelectrode implants in non-human primates, this study investigates the feasibility of an ...

Where are your eyes going to look during reading? A critical evaluation of saccade targeting hypothesis [PDF]
The word-based account of saccades drawn by a central gravity of the PVL is supported by two pillars of evidences. The first is the finding of the initial fixation location on a word resembled a normal distribution (Rayner, 1979). The other is the finding of a moderate slope coefficient between the launch site and the landing site (b=0.49, see McConkie,

SacCalib: Reducing Calibration Distortion for Stationary Eye Trackers Using Saccadic Eye Movements [PDF]
Recent methods to automatically calibrate stationary eye trackers were shown to effectively reduce inherent calibration distortion. However, these methods require additional information, such as mouse clicks or on-screen content. We propose the first method that only requires users' eye movements to reduce calibration distortion in the background while

Hierarchical Machine Learning Classification of Parkinsonian Disorders using Saccadic Eye Movements: A Development and Validation Study [PDF]
Discriminating between Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is difficult due to overlapping symptoms, especially early on. Saccades (rapid conjugate eye movements between fixation points) are affected by both diseases but conventional saccade analyses exhibit group level differences only.
