[HTML][HTML] Polar angle asymmetries in visual perception and neural architecture

MM Himmelberg, J Winawer, M Carrasco - Trends in Neurosciences, 2023 - cell.com
Human visual performance changes with visual field location. It is best at the center of gaze
and declines with eccentricity, and also varies markedly with polar angle. These perceptual …

Visual temporal attention from perception to computation

RN Denison - Nature Reviews Psychology, 2024 - nature.com
Visual attention unfolds across space and time to prioritize a subset of incoming visual
information. Distinct in key ways from spatial attention, temporal attention is a growing …

Different computations underlie overt presaccadic and covert spatial attention

HH Li, J Pan, M Carrasco - Nature human behaviour, 2021 - nature.com
Perception and action are tightly coupled: visual responses at the saccade target are
enhanced right before saccade onset. This phenomenon, presaccadic attention, is a form of …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation to frontal but not occipital cortex disrupts endogenous attention

A Fernández, NM Hanning… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Covert endogenous (voluntary) attention improves visual performance. Human
neuroimaging studies suggest that the putative human homolog of macaque frontal eye …

[HTML][HTML] Stimulus-dependent contrast sensitivity asymmetries around the visual field

MM Himmelberg, J Winawer, M Carrasco - Journal of vision, 2020 - iovs.arvojournals.org
Asymmetries in visual performance at isoeccentric locations are well-documented and
functionally important. At a fixed eccentricity, visual performance is best along the horizontal …

Cortical magnification eliminates differences in contrast sensitivity across but not around the visual field

M Jigo, D Tavdy, MM Himmelberg, M Carrasco - elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
Human visual performance changes dramatically both across (eccentricity) and around
(polar angle) the visual field. Performance is better at the fovea, decreases with eccentricity …

Differential effects of endogenous and exogenous attention on sensory tuning

A Fernández, S Okun, M Carrasco - Journal of Neuroscience, 2022 - Soc Neuroscience
Covert spatial attention (without concurrent eye movements) improves performance in many
visual tasks (eg, orientation discrimination and visual search). However, both covert …

Differential impact of endogenous and exogenous attention on activity in human visual cortex

L Dugué, EP Merriam, DJ Heeger, M Carrasco - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
How do endogenous (voluntary) and exogenous (involuntary) attention modulate activity in
visual cortex? Using ROI-based fMRI analysis, we measured fMRI activity for valid and …

Presaccadic attention sharpens visual acuity

Y Kwak, NM Hanning, M Carrasco - Scientific reports, 2023 - nature.com
Visual perception is limited by spatial resolution, the ability to discriminate fine details.
Spatial resolution not only declines with eccentricity but also differs for polar angle locations …

[PDF][PDF] Extinguishing exogenous attention via transcranial magnetic stimulation

A Fernández, M Carrasco - Current Biology, 2020 - cell.com
Orienting covert exogenous (involuntary) attention to a target location improves performance
in many visual tasks [1, 2]. It is unknown whether early visual cortical areas are necessary for …
