The advent of powerful perturbation tools, such as optogenetics, has created new frontiers
for probing causal dependencies in neural and behavioral states. These approaches have …

The small visual area known as MT or V5 has played a major role in our understanding of
the primate cerebral cortex. This area has been historically important in the concept of …

The problem of consciousness continues to be a subject of great debate in cognitive
science. Synthesizing decades of research, The Conscious Brain advances a new theory of …

Human visual speed perception is qualitatively consistent with a Bayesian observer that
optimally combines noisy measurements with a prior preference for lower speeds …

Eye movements are an integral and essential part of our human foveated vision system.
Here, we review recent work on voluntary eye movements, with an emphasis on the last …

Ocular pursuit movements allow moving objects to be tracked with a combination of smooth
movements and saccades. The principal objective is to maintain smooth eye velocity close …

Saccades and smooth pursuit eye movements are two different modes of oculomotor control.
Saccades are primarily directed toward stationary targets whereas smooth pursuit is elicited …

Primates use two types of voluntary eye movements to track objects of interest: pursuit and
saccades. Traditionally, these two eye movements have been viewed as distinct systems …

The extrastriate cortex of primates encompasses a substantial portion of the cerebral cortex
and is devoted to the higher order processing of visual signals and their dispatch to other …

Smooth-pursuit eye movements transform 100 ms of visual motion into a rapid initiation of
smooth eye movement followed by sustained accurate tracking. Both the mean and variation …
