TLDR
College students read a passage presented in AlTeRnAtInG cAsE on a CRT while their eye movements were monitored, and the case of every letter was changed during certain saccades.Abstract:
College students read a passage presented in AlTeRnAtInG cAsE on a CRT while their eye movements were monitored. During certain saccades, the case of every letter was changed (a became A, B became b). This change was not perceived and had no effect on eye movements. Apparently visual features of the type which specify the difference between upper- and lowercase letters are not integrated across fixations during reading.read more

Eye movements in reading and information processing: 20 years of research.
TL;DR: The basic theme of the review is that eye movement data reflect moment-to-moment cognitive processes in the various tasks examined.

Gorillas in our midst: sustained inattentional blindness for dynamic events.
TL;DR: A new study builds on classic studies of divided visual attention to examine inattentional blindness for complex objects and events in dynamic scenes and suggests that the likelihood of noticing an unexpected object depends on the similarity of that object to other objects in the display and on how difficult the priming monitoring task is.

A sensorimotor account of vision and visual consciousness-Authors' Response-Acting out our sensory experience
J. Kevin O'Regan,Alva Noë +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that the brain produces an internal representation of the world, and the activation of this internal representation is assumed to give rise to the experience of seeing, but it leaves unexplained how the existence of such a detailed internal representation might produce visual consciousness.

To See or not to See: The Need for Attention to Perceive Changes in Scenes
TL;DR: The authors showed that when brief blank fields are placed between alternating displays of an original and a modified scene, a striking failure of perception is induced and identification of changes becomes extremely difficult, even when changes are large and made repeatedly.

The Perceptual Span and Peripheral Cues in Reading.
TL;DR: It was found that a reader was able to make a semantic interpretation of a word that began 1–6 character spaces from his fixation point, and the size of the area from which he does is rather small, suggesting that the skilled reader is able to take advantage of information in the periphery.

TL;DR: The eye movements and visual perception is one book that the authors really recommend you to read, to get more solutions in solving this problem.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the types of prior parafoveal information studied facilitated the naming of the word.

Eye movement contingent display control in studying reading
TL;DR: The paper reviews hardware and software considerations in developing a computer system that permits experimental control over a CRT display contingent upon characteristics of the viewer’s eye movements.
Book ChapterDOI
Eye movements and visual perception
TL;DR: The benefits and possible costs of having a perceptual system that is very reliant on eye movements; benefits in the sense that eye movements ensure the maintenance of vision and allow the effective deployment of the high-acuity foveal channel; costs in thesense that perception of a stable world is required despite the gross changes in retinal images produced by large and frequent eye movements.
