Visual temporal attention from perception to computation

RN Denison - Nature Reviews Psychology, 2024 - nature.com
Visual attention unfolds across space and time to prioritize a subset of incoming visual
information. Distinct in key ways from spatial attention, temporal attention is a growing …

When temporal attention interacts with expectation

A Duyar, S Ren, M Carrasco - Scientific reports, 2024 - nature.com
Temporal attention is voluntarily deployed at specific moments, whereas temporal
expectation is deployed according to timing probabilities. When the target appears at an …

Microsaccades reflect attention shifts: a mini review of 20 years of microsaccade research

Q Gu, Q Zhang, Y Han, P Li, Z Gao, M Shen - Frontiers in Psychology, 2024 - frontiersin.org
Microsaccades are small, involuntary eye movements that occur during fixation. Since the
1950s, researchers have conducted extensive research on the role of microsaccades in …

Task demand mediates the interaction of spatial and temporal attention

H Palmieri, M Carrasco - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
Psychophysical studies typically test attentional mechanisms in isolation, but in everyday life
they interact to optimize human behavior. We investigated whether spatial and temporal …

Visual perceptual learning modulates microsaccade rate and directionality

SC Hung, A Barbot, M Carrasco - Scientific reports, 2023 - nature.com
Microsaccades, incessant “fixational eye movements”(< 1°), are an important window into
cognitive functions. Yet, its role in visual perceptual learning (VPL)–improvements in visual …

Frontotemporal network contribution to occluded face processing

J Noroozi, E Rezayat, MRA Dehaqani - Proceedings of the National …, 2024 - pnas.org
Primates are known for their exceptional ability to recognize faces. However, we still have
much to learn about how their brains process faces when they are partially hidden. When we …

Anticipatory and evoked visual cortical dynamics of voluntary temporal attention

RN Denison, KJ Tian, DJ Heeger, M Carrasco - Nature communications, 2024 - nature.com
We can often anticipate the precise moment when a stimulus will be relevant for our
behavioral goals. Voluntary temporal attention, the prioritization of sensory information at …

[HTML][HTML] Do microsaccades vary with discriminability around the visual field?

S Purokayastha, M Roberts, M Carrasco - Journal of Vision, 2024 - tvst.arvojournals.org
Microsaccades—tiny fixational eye movements—improve discriminability in high-acuity
tasks in the foveola. To investigate whether they help compensate for low discriminability at …

[HTML][HTML] Goal-dependent use of temporal regularities to orient attention under spatial and action uncertainty

I Echeverria-Altuna, AC Nobre… - Journal of Cognition, 2024 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The temporal regularities in our environments support the proactive dynamic anticipation of
relevant events. In visual attention, one important outstanding question is whether temporal …

Eyes on the past: Gaze stability differs between temporal expectation and temporal attention

A Duyar, M Carrasco - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Temporal expectation and temporal attention distinctly improve performance and gaze
stability, and interact at the behavioral and neural levels. Foreperiod-the interval between …
