In this article, we challenge the usefulness of “attention” as a unitary construct and/or neural
system. We point out that the concept has too many meanings to justify a single term, and …

For many years there has been a debate about the role of the parietal lobe in the generation
of behavior. Does it generate movement plans (intention) or choose objects in the …

The neural pathways and brain regions involved in eye movements during ocular fixation
and gaze control include the cerebrum, brainstem and cerebellum, and abnormal eye …

Spatial attention and eye-movements are tightly coupled, but the precise nature of this
coupling is controversial. The influential but controversial Premotor theory of attention makes …

Facial expressions are one of the most important ways to communicate our emotional state.
In popular culture and in the scientific literature on face processing, the eye area is often …

It is well established that during the preparation and execution of goal-directed movements,
perceptual processing is biased towards the goal. Most of the previous work on the relation …

The dynamics of the allocation of attention during the preparation of saccadic eye
movements was studied in a dual task paradigm. As the primary task, participants had to …

We examined the allocation of attention during the preparation of sequences of saccades in
a dual task paradigm. As a primary task, participants performed a sequence of two or three …

When reaching for objects, people frequently look where they reach. This raises the
question of whether the targets for the eye and hand in concurrent eye and hand movements …

Alfred L. Yarbus was among the first to demonstrate that eye movements actively serve our
perceptual and cognitive goals, a crucial recognition that is at the heart of today's research …
