Oculomotor feature discrimination is cortically mediated

DH Kehoe, M Fallah - Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Eye movements are often directed toward stimuli with specific features. Decades of
neurophysiological research has determined that this behavior is subserved by a feature …

Identifying a distractor produces object-based inhibition in an allocentric reference frame for saccade planning

CE Olenick, H Jordan, M Fallah - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
We investigated whether distractor inhibition occurs relative to the target or fixation in a
perceptual decision-making task using a purely saccadic response. Previous research has …

[HTML][HTML] Coupling of saccade plans to endogenous attention during urgent choices

AT Goldstein, TR Stanford, E Salinas - bioRxiv, 2024 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The neural mechanisms that willfully direct attention to specific locations in space are closely
related to those for generating targeting eye movements (saccades). However, the degree to …

Rising stars in systems neuroscience: 2022

M Fallah, J Haam, A Ledonne - Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2024 - frontiersin.org
When a problem remains unsolved, sometimes it requires a new perspective. Often, these
fresh approaches come from those early in their careers: trying new things or taking ideas …

Dynamics of Saccade Trajectory Modulation by Distractors: Neural Activity Patterns in the Frontal Eye Field

H Ramezanpour, DH Kehoe, JD Schall, M Fallah - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
The sudden appearance of a visual distractor shortly before saccade initiation can capture
spatial attention and modulate the saccade trajectory in spite of the ongoing execution of the …

Revealing the Interactions Between Exogenous and Endogenous Control During Urgent Decision Making

AT Goldstein - 2024 - search.proquest.com
The decision of where to look next is guided by a combination of current sensory stimuli and
internally defined goals. The latency and target of saccadic eye movements are determined …
