Executive control, the ability to organize thoughts and action plans in real time, is a defining
feature of higher cognition. Classical theories have emphasized cortical contributions to this …

Establishing a representation of space is a major goal of sensory systems. Spatial
information, however, is not always explicit in the incoming sensory signals. In most …

Attention can be" covertly" directed without eye movements; yet, even during fixation, there
are continuous microsaccades (MSs). In areas V4 and IT of macaques, we found that firing …

Covert endogenous (voluntary) attention improves visual performance. Human
neuroimaging studies suggest that the putative human homolog of macaque frontal eye …

Perception and action are tightly coupled: visual responses at the saccade target are
enhanced right before saccade onset. This phenomenon, presaccadic attention, is a form of …

Visual selective attention is a fundamental cognitive ability that allows us to process relevant
visual stimuli while ignoring irrelevant distracters and has been extensively studied in …

Visual attention is essential for visual perception. Spatial attention allows us to grant priority
in processing and selectively process information at a given location. In this paper, I explain …

Recent evidence suggests that microsaccades are causally linked to the attention-related
modulation of neurons—specifically, that microsaccades toward the attended location are …

How do endogenous (voluntary) and exogenous (involuntary) attention modulate activity in
visual cortex? Using ROI-based fMRI analysis, we measured fMRI activity for valid and …

The foveated architecture of the human retina and the eye's mobility enables prime spatial
vision, yet the interplay between photoreceptor cell topography and the constant motion of …
