The superior colliculus, or tectum in the case of non-mammalian vertebrates, is a part of the
brain that registers events in the surrounding space, often through vision and hearing, but …

In many circumstances alternative courses of action and thoughts have to be inhibited to
allow the emergence of goal-directed behavior. However, this has not been the accepted …

The two basic phenomena that define the problem of visual attention can be illustrated in a
simple example. Consider the arrays shown in each panel of Figure 1. In a typical …

This article reviews the past 25years of research on eye movements (1986–2011).
Emphasis is on three oculomotor behaviors: gaze control, smooth pursuit and saccades, and …

When we attempt to fix our gaze, our eyes nevertheless produce so-called'fixational eye
movements', which include microsaccades, drift and tremor. Fixational eye movements …

Accurate saccadic programming in natural visual scenes requires a signal designating
which of the many potential targets is to be the goal of the saccade. Is this signal controlled …

Mathematical models have become an important tool for understanding the control of eye
movements during reading. Main goals of the development of the SWIFT model (R. Engbert …
