How do MTL theta oscillations relate to eye & body movements during navigation? @suthanalab &co show that #theta power increases during #saccades under memory demands, linking exploratory gaze & planning to memory‑related dynamics during #navigation @PLOSBiology plos.io/4dwJhR8
Why don't #saccades disrupt our continuous #visual experience? This study shows that neurons of the #SuperiorColliculus are sensitive to the pre-movement peripheral appearance of the eye movement targets, potentially explaining the experienced perceptual stability @PLOSBiology plos.io/44cxQIe

Our paper, "Stimulus representations in visual cortex shaped by spatial attention and microsaccades" was just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

People read in #Saccades

We have to #design for that.

Literally no-one reads everything you write.

Their eyes jump about all over the place.

And our brains just make words up based on shapes and outlines.

Announcers and Broadcasters alike read a lot of copy and, I mean A LOT of copy…out loud no less. This means we are not just sucking the data from our eyes to o

Setting up some awesome precision eye tracking hardware at work. You can see the compensatory eye movements (as transients on the rising/falling edge of the lines) at the end of the saccades on this plot which is cool

This week, we had another very interesting #Labtalk in our #OpenLab. Our speaker was Dr. Christian Wolf who taught us a lot about the voluntary & involuntary contributions to #saccadic eye movements. Thanks for your clear and fascinating talk!

Possibly tangentially related: If you sit on a swivel chair (safer than doing the same thing standing up) and gently place your fingertips on your closed eyes while you turn around and around, you’ll be able to discern that your eyes will still exhibit saccadic movement even though you can’t “see” anything. (Not sure if this is true for the blind, but it’s worth considering who this may not be true for and why.) Rapid Serial Visual Presentation methods for speed reading (Spritz and related apps) work well primarily because they limit saccadic eye movements which take up a proportionally large portion of your reading time. (Ultimately I think there is an upper limit to how fast one can read and comprehend and retain information.) The visual systems of chickens are responsible for their odd walking manner in which they throw their heads forward and then move their body underneath them while their head remains stationary. Essentially while their head is moving, they’re “blind”. Is it possible that saccades of the eye are tied into our visual processing and memory systems in a manner deeper than we’re consciously aware? Does reading on a page help our comprehension or long term memories more because the words have a location on a page versus RSVP reading methods? Do our mental visualizations (imagination) change depending on these visual/reading methods? What effects to these have on our memories? Some interesting questions worth pondering/researching. https://boffosocko.com/2019/11/07/rapid-eye-movement-from-dominique-obrien-general-memory-chat-art-of-memory-forum/
