Attention is a central neural process that enables selective and efficient processing of visual
information. Individuals can attend to specific visual information either overtly, by making an …

Shortly before saccadic eye movements, visual sensitivity at the saccade target is enhanced,
at the expense of sensitivity elsewhere. Some behavioral and neural correlates of this …

Research within visual cognition has made tremendous strides in uncovering the basic
operating characteristics of the visual system by reducing the complexity of natural vision to …

With every saccadic eye movement, humans bring new information into their fovea to be
processed with high visual acuity. Notably, perception is enhanced already before a relevant …

Online methods allow testing of larger, more diverse populations, with much less effort than
in-lab testing. However, many psychophysical measurements, including visual crowding …

Dyslexic adolescents demonstrate deficits in word decoding, recognition, and oculomotor
coordination as compared to healthy controls. Our lab recently showed intrinsic deficits in …

Many studies infer the role of neurons by asking what information can be decoded from their
activity or by observing the consequences of perturbing their activity. An alternative …

Visual foraging tasks, where participants collect items by touching or clicking on them, have
become popular for investigating visual search. They probe selective attention in multi-target …

Voluntary attentional control is the ability to selectively focus on a subset of visual
information in the presence of other competing stimuli–a marker of cognitive control …

The theory of visual attention,“TVA”, is an influential and formal theory of attentional
selection. It is widely applied in clinical assessment of attention and fundamental attention …
