The impact of microsaccades on vision: towards a unified theory of saccadic function

S Martinez-Conde, J Otero-Millan… - Nature Reviews …, 2013 - nature.com
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Microsaccades: small steps on a long way

M Rolfs - Vision research, 2009 - Elsevier
Contrary to common wisdom, fixations are a dynamically rich behavior, composed of
continual, miniature eye movements, of which microsaccades are the most salient …

[HTML][HTML] Transient induced gamma-band response in EEG as a manifestation of miniature saccades

S Yuval-Greenberg, O Tomer, AS Keren, I Nelken… - Neuron, 2008 - cell.com
The induced gamma-band EEG response (iGBR) recorded on the scalp is widely assumed
to reflect synchronous neural oscillation associated with object representation, attention …

Microsaccades are triggered by low retinal image slip

R Engbert, K Mergenthaler - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2006 - pnas.org
Even during visual fixation of a stationary target, our eyes perform rather erratic miniature
movements, which represent a random walk. These “fixational” eye movements counteract …

[HTML][HTML] Saccades and microsaccades during visual fixation, exploration, and search: foundations for a common saccadic generator

J Otero-Millan, XG Troncoso, SL Macknik… - Journal of …, 2008 - iovs.arvojournals.org
Microsaccades are known to occur during prolonged visual fixation, but it is a matter of
controversy whether they also happen during free-viewing. Here we set out to determine: 1) …

Predictive remap** of attention across eye movements

M Rolfs, D Jonikaitis, H Deubel, P Cavanagh - Nature neuroscience, 2011 - nature.com
Many cells in retinotopic brain areas increase their activity when saccades (rapid eye
movements) are about to bring stimuli into their receptive fields. Although previous work has …

Microsaccades: a neurophysiological analysis

S Martinez-Conde, SL Macknik, XG Troncoso… - Trends in …, 2009 - cell.com
Microsaccades are the largest and fastest of the fixational eye movements, which are
involuntary eye movements produced during attempted visual fixation. In recent years, the …

Microsaccades: A microcosm for research on oculomotor control, attention, and visual perception

R Engbert - Progress in brain research, 2006 - Elsevier
Miniature eye movements occur involuntarily during visual fixation. The most prominent
contribution to these fixational eye movements is generated by microsaccades, which are …

Toward a model of microsaccade generation: the case of microsaccadic inhibition

M Rolfs, R Kliegl, R Engbert - Journal of vision, 2008 - jov.arvojournals.org
Microsaccades are one component of the small eye movements that constitute fixation. Their
implementation in the oculomotor system is unknown. To better understand the …

Spontaneous microsaccades reflect shifts in covert attention

S Yuval-Greenberg, EP Merriam… - Journal of Neuroscience, 2014 - jneurosci.org
Microsaccade rate during fixation is modulated by the presentation of a visual stimulus.
When the stimulus is an endogenous attention cue, the ensuing microsaccades tend to be …
