Blinking suppresses the neural response to unchanging retinal stimulation.
TLDR
This work distinguished direct top-down effects of blink-associated motor signals on cortical activity from purely mechanical or optical effects of blinking on visual input by combining pupil-independent retinal stimulation with functional MRI (fMRI) in humans.About:

Dysconnection in Schizophrenia: From Abnormal Synaptic Plasticity to Failures of Self-monitoring
TL;DR: It is argued that this neurobiological mechanism can explain failures of self-monitoring, leading to a mechanistic explanation for first-rank symptoms as pathognomonic features of schizophrenia, and may provide a basis for future diagnostic classifications with physiologically defined patient subgroups.

Signal quality of simultaneously recorded invasive and non-invasive EEG.
TL;DR: It is suggested that blinks should be taken into account in the experimental design of ECoG studies, particularly when event related potentials in fronto-anterior brain regions are analyzed and the application of techniques for reducing ocular artifacts to further optimize the signal quality of invasive EEG.

Combining EEG and eye tracking: identification, characterization, and correction of eye movement artifacts in electroencephalographic data
TL;DR: An algorithm, which uses eye tracker information to objectively identify eye-artifact related ICA-components (ICs) in an automated manner is proposed, which performed very similar to human experts when those were given both, the topographies of the ICs and their respective activations in a large amount of trials.

Blink before and after you think: blinks occur prior to and following cognitive load indexed by pupillary responses.
TL;DR: A novel method that quantifies the proportion of trials on which blinking occur at each sample acquired during the trial allows cross-correlation of continuous pupil-dilation and blink waveforms and results indicate that blinks occur during early sensory processing and following sustained information processing.

Out of Mind, Out of Sight: Eye Blinking as Indicator and Embodiment of Mind Wandering
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that during an extended period of reading, episodes of mind wandering, compared with on-task periods, contain more eye closures (blinks) and fewer fixa-tions on the text―even as subjects continue to scan the text.

Borders of multiple visual areas in humans revealed by functional magnetic resonance imaging

TL;DR: Cortical magnification factor curves for striate and extrastriate cortical areas were determined, which showed that human visual areas have a greater emphasis on the center-of-gaze than their counterparts in monkeys.

Nonlinear spatial normalization using basis functions
John Ashburner,Karl J. Friston +1 more
TL;DR: A fast algorithm has been developed that utilizes Taylor's theorem and the separable nature of the basis functions, meaning that most of the nonlinear spatial variability between images can be automatically corrected within a few minutes.

Neural basis of the spontaneous optokinetic response produced by visual inversion.
TL;DR: One of the most conspicuous behavioral effects produced by surgical rotation of the eyeball through 180 degrees is the forced circling or spontaneous optokinetic reaction.
