Spatial attention, precision, and Bayesian inference: a study of saccadic response speed

S Vossel, C Mathys, J Daunizeau, M Bauer… - Cerebral …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Inferring the environment's statistical structure and adapting behavior accordingly is a
fundamental modus operandi of the brain. A simple form of this faculty based on spatial …

[HTML][HTML] Cortical coupling reflects Bayesian belief updating in the deployment of spatial attention

S Vossel, C Mathys, KE Stephan… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
The deployment of visuospatial attention and the programming of saccades are governed by
the inferred likelihood of events. In the present study, we combined computational modeling …

Causal inference for spatial constancy across saccades

J Atsma, F Maij, M Koppen, DE Irwin… - PLoS Computational …, 2016 - journals.plos.org
Our ability to interact with the environment hinges on creating a stable visual world despite
the continuous changes in retinal input. To achieve visual stability, the brain must distinguish …

Saccadic inhibition reveals the timing of automatic and voluntary signals in the human brain

A Bompas, P Sumner - Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Neurophysiological and phenomenological data on sensorimotor decision making are
growing so rapidly that it is now necessary and achievable to capture it in biologically …

The effects of bottom-up target luminance and top-down spatial target predictability on saccadic reaction times

RA Marino, DP Munoz - Experimental brain research, 2009 - Springer
Saccadic reaction times (SRT) are composed of the sum of multiple processes, including
bottom-up sensory processing, top-down goal oriented processing, and afferent and efferent …

Frontal eye field activity before visual search errors reveals the integration of bottom-up and top-down salience

KG Thompson, NP Bichot… - Journal of …, 2005 - journals.physiology.org
We investigated the saccade decision process by examining activity recorded in the frontal
eye field (FEF) of monkeys performing 2 separate visual search experiments in which there …

Cholinergic stimulation enhances Bayesian belief updating in the deployment of spatial attention

S Vossel, M Bauer, C Mathys, RA Adams… - Journal of …, 2014 - Soc Neuroscience
The exact mechanisms whereby the cholinergic neurotransmitter system contributes to
attentional processing remain poorly understood. Here, we applied computational modeling …

Coupled decision processes update and maintain saccadic priors in a dynamic environment

TD Kim, M Kabir, JI Gold - Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Much of what we know about how the brain forms decisions comes from studies of saccadic
eye movements. However, saccadic decisions are often studied in isolation, which limits the …

Perceptual averaging governs antisaccade endpoint bias

C Gillen, M Heath - Experimental brain research, 2014 - Springer
Antisaccades entail decoupling the spatial relations between stimulus and response and
executing a saccade to a target's mirror-symmetrical location. The indirect spatial relations …

Blind saccades: an asynchrony between seeing and looking

C de'Sperati, G Baud-Bovy - Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
Saccades may not always wait for the completion of the perceptual analysis. By taking
advantage of a motion-induced illusion of position and of the spontaneous scatter of …
