Covert spatial attention is associated with spatial modulation of neural activity as well as with
directional biases in fixational eye movements known as microsaccades. We studied how …

Face processing is fundamental to primates and has been extensively studied in higher-
order visual cortex. Here, we report that visual neurons in the midbrain superior colliculus …

Covert endogenous (voluntary) attention improves visual performance. Human
neuroimaging studies suggest that the putative human homolog of macaque frontal eye …

Human vision relies on a tiny region of the retina, the 1-deg foveola, to achieve high spatial
resolution. Foveal vision is of paramount importance in daily activities, yet its study is …

Reliable, noninvasive biomarkers that reveal the internal state of a subject are an invaluable
tool for neurological diagnoses. Small fixational eye movements, called microsaccades, are …

The lateralisation of 8–12 Hz alpha activity is a canonical signature of human spatial
cognition that is typically studied under strict fixation requirements. Yet, even during …

Grid-cells firing fields tile the environment with a 6-fold periodicity during both locomotion
and visual exploration. Here, we tested, in humans, whether movements of covert attention …

Temporal attention, the prioritization of information at specific points in time, improves
performance in behavioral tasks but cannot ameliorate the perceptual asymmetries that exist …

Microsaccades are small, involuntary eye movements that occur during fixation. Since the
1950s, researchers have conducted extensive research on the role of microsaccades in …

Microsaccades, incessant “fixational eye movements”(< 1°), are an important window into
cognitive functions. Yet, its role in visual perceptual learning (VPL)–improvements in visual …
