Cognitive neuroscience has traditionally focused on simple tasks, presented sparsely and
using abstract stimuli. While this approach has yielded fundamental insights into functional …

This Perspective considers the influential notion of a canonical (cortical) microcircuit in light
of recent theories about neuronal processing. Specifically, we conciliate quantitative studies …

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 …

People can direct their gaze at a visual target for extended periods of time. Yet, even during
fixation the eyes make small, involuntary movements (eg tremor, drift, and microsaccades) …

Humans and other species explore a visual scene by making rapid eye movements
(saccades) two to three times every second. Although the eyes may appear immobile in the …

High visual acuity is essential for many tasks, from recognizing distant friends to driving a
car. While much is known about how the eye's optics and anatomy contribute to spatial …

Single-particle traces of the diffusive motion of molecules, cells, or animals are by now
routinely measured, similar to stochastic records of stock prices or weather data …

How is space represented in the visual system? At first glance, the answer to this
fundamental question appears straightforward: spatial information is directly encoded in the …

How different are the results of constant-rate resetting of anomalous-diffusion processes in
terms of their ensemble-averaged versus time-averaged mean-squared displacements …

The way the cognitive system scans the visual environment for relevant information–visual
search in short–has been a long-standing central topic in vision science. From its inception …
