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 …

Immediately following an event at a peripheral location there is facilitation for the processing
of other stimuli near that location. This is said to reflect a reflexive shift of attention towards …

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 …

More than one third of the human brain is devoted to the processes of seeing-vision is after
all the main way in which we gather information about the world. But human vision is a …

Scanning of the visual scene is an important selective process in visual perception. In this
article we argue that eye-movement data provide an excellent on-line indication of the …

The mammalian superior colliculus (SC) and its nonmammalian homolog, the optic tectum,
constitute a major node in processing sensory information, incorporating cognitive factors …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …
