High visual acuity is essential for many tasks, from recognizing distant friends to driving a
car. While much is known about how the eye's optics and anatomy contribute to spatial …

Even during fixation, our eyes are constantly in motion, creating an ever-changing signal in
each photoreceptor. Neuronal processes can exploit such transient signals to serve spatial …

The existence of a central fovea, the small retinal region with high analytical performance, is
arguably the most prominent design feature of the primate visual system. This centralization …

Humans and other species continually perform microscopic eye movements, even when
attending to a single point [1–3]. These movements, which include drifts and microsaccades …

During natural viewing, the eyes are never still. Even during fixation, miniature movements
of the eyes move the retinal image across tens of foveal photoreceptors. Most theories of …

Humans and other species explore a visual scene by making rapid eye movements
(saccades) two to three times every second. Although the eyes may appear immobile in the …

Our eyes move continually, even while we fixate our gaze on an object. If fixational eye
movements are counteracted, our perception of stationary objects fades completely, due to …

The image on the retina is never stationary. Microscopic relocations of gaze, known as
microsaccades, occur even during steady fixation. It has long been thought that …

Our eyes are constantly in motion. Even during visual fixation, small eye movements
continually jitter the location of gaze,,,. It is known that visual percepts tend to fade when …

While we know a great deal about the dynamics and characteristics of eye movements in
relatively simple tasks performed under reduced laboratory conditions, we know less about …
