Selective visual attention describes the tendency of visual processing to be confined largely
to stimuli that are relevant to behavior. It is among the most fundamental of cognitive …

Visual processing varies dramatically across the visual field. These differences start in the
retina and continue all the way to the visual cortex. Despite these differences in processing …

Does attention alter appearance? This critical issue, debated for over a century, remains
unsettled. From psychophysical evidence that covert attention affects early vision—it …

Attention allows us to select relevant sensory information for preferential processing.
Behaviourally, it improves performance in various visual tasks. One prominent effect of …

High-acuity foveal processing is vital for human vision. Nonetheless, little is known about
how the preparation of large-scale rapid eye movements (saccades) affects visual sensitivity …

The scientific study of reading has a rich history that spans disciplines from vision science to
linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and education. The study of …

We experience the visual world through a series of saccadic eye movements, each one
shifting our gaze to bring objects of interest to the fovea for further processing. Although such …

Researchers in the field of active perception study how sensory processes coalesce with
motor actions to extract information from the world. Such actions intrinsically alter perceptual …

Visual perception and eye movements are considered to be tightly linked. Diverse fields,
ranging from developmental psychology to computer science, utilize eye tracking to …

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 …
