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 …

Natural scenes contain far more information than can be processed simultaneously. Thus,
our visually guided behavior depends crucially on the capacity to attend to relevant stimuli …

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 …

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 …

Perception is shaped by actions, which determine the allocation of selective attention across
the visual field. Here, we review evidence that maintenance in visual working memory is …

Five experiments systematically investigated whether orientation is a visual object property
that affords action. The primary aim was to establish the existence of a pure physical …

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 …

We examined the allocation of attention during the preparation of sequences of manual
pointing movements in a dual task paradigm. As the primary task, the participants had to …

Previous studies have shown that an odd-colored target among uniformly colored distractors
can be rapidly detected and localized using broadly distributed attention over an entire …

Where exactly do people look when they grasp an object? An object is usually contacted at
two locations, whereas the gaze can only be at one location at the time. We investigated …
