Prolonged fixation can lead to the generation of tiny and fast eye movements called
microsaccades, whose dynamics can be associated with higher cognitive mechanisms …

Saccadic eye movements allow humans to explore the visual environment, quickly moving
the fovea and attention to points of interest for detailed visual processing. Despite these …

Deficits in response inhibition are a central feature of the highly prevalent dysexecutive
syndrome found in Parkinson's disease (PD). Such deficits are related to a range of common …

Cognitive control supports flexible behavior adapted to meet current goals and can be
modeled through investigation of saccade tasks with varying cognitive demands. Basic …

The pro and anti-saccade task (PAT) is a widely used tool in the study of overt and covert
attention with promising potential role in neurocognitive and psychiatric assessment …

According to most accounts of executive control, resisting distraction requires enhancing
task-relevant processing, reducing task-irrelevant processing, or both. Consistent with this …

Eye movements have been used extensively to assess information processing and cognitive
function. However, significant variability in saccade performance has been observed, which …

Microsaccades belong to the category of fixational micromovements and may be crucial for
image stability on the retina. Eye movement paradigms typically require fixational control …

The antisaccade task is a prominent tool to investigate the response inhibition component of
cognitive control. Recent theoretical accounts explain performance in terms of parallel …

Cognitive control optimizes responses to relevant task conditions by balancing bottom-up
stimulus processing with top-down goal pursuit. It can be investigated using the ocular motor …
