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 …

Ocular fixation is a dynamic process that is actively controlled by many of the same brain
structures involved in the control of eye movements, including the superior colliculus …

A distributed network of cortical and subcortical brain areas controls our oculomotor
behavior. This network includes the superior colliculus (SC), which coordinates an ancient …

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a disease of later life that is currently regarded as a
form of neurodegenerative tauopathy. Disturbance of gaze is a cardinal clinical feature of …

During visual exploration, saccadic eye movements scan the scene for objects of interest.
During attempted fixation, the eyes are relatively still but often produce microsaccades …

The characteristics of microsaccades, or small fixational saccades, and their influence on
visual function have been studied extensively. However, the detailed mechanisms for …

Microsaccades are small eye movements that occur during gaze fixation. Although taking
place only when we attempt to stabilize gaze position, microsaccades can be understood by …

The eyes do not stay perfectly still during attempted fixation; fixational eye movements and
saccadic intrusions (SIs) continuously change the position of gaze. The most common type …

The use of awake, fixating monkeys in neuroscience has allowed significant advances in
understanding numerous brain functions. However, fixation is an active process, with the …

Saccades are rapid eye movements that change the line of sight between successive points
of fixation. Even as we attempt to fixate our gaze precisely, small rapid eye movements …
