The mammalian superior colliculus (SC) and its nonmammalian homolog, the optic tectum,
constitute a major node in processing sensory information, incorporating cognitive factors …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

The modern era of oculomotor research began with the advent of the chronic single-unit
recording method in the late 1960s. Research carried out in the intervening years has made …

The stop-signal task has been used to study normal cognitive control and clinical
dysfunction. Its utility is derived from a race model that accounts for performance and …

In order to direct a movement towards a visual stimulus, visualspatial information must be
combined with postural information. For example, directing gaze (eye plus head) towards a …

In the 16 years since we last summarized the behavior of the premotor elements that control
saccades, research has revealed shortcomings in previous formulations of the control …

We describe a neurobiological model of visual attention and eye/head movements in
primates, and its application to the automatic animation of a realistic virtual human head …

The pulvinar nuclei of the thalamus are proportionately larger in higher mammals,
particularly in primates, and account for a quarter of the total mass. Traditionally, these …

Changing the direction of the line of sight is essential for the visual exploration of our
environment. When the head does not move, re-orientation of the visual axis is …

A distributed network of cortical and subcortical brain areas controls our oculomotor
behavior. This network includes the superior colliculus (SC), which coordinates an ancient …
