Selective attention and the active remapping of object features in trans-saccadic perception.

TLDR
The results show that both selective attention and saccadic eye movements influenced the magnitude of the tilt aftereffect, but in different ways, suggesting that trans-saccadic perception is not limited to a single object but instead depends on the allocation of selective attention.

A sensorimotor account of vision and visual consciousness-Authors' Response-Acting out our sensory experience

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.

The representation of visual salience in monkey parietal cortex

TL;DR: The lateral intraparietal area (LIP) as mentioned in this paper has been shown to have visual responses to stimuli appearing abruptly at particular retinal locations (their receptive fields) and the visual representation in LIP is sparse, with only the most salient or behaviourally relevant objects being strongly represented.

Eye movements: The past 25 years

TL;DR: This article reviews the past 25 years of research on eye movements, focusing on three oculomotor behaviors: gaze control, smooth pursuit and saccades, and on their interactions with vision.

Visual Stability across Saccades While Viewing Complex Pictures. Technical Report No. 609.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the phenomenon of visual stability by making changes in natural, full-color pictures during selected saccades as observers examined them in preparation for a recognition test and found that subjects' detection of image changes primarily involves the use of local information in the region of the eyes' landing position.

Trans-saccadic perception

TL;DR: Five principles of 'trans-saccadic perception' are outlined that could help to explain how it is possible - despite discrete sensory input and limited memory - that conscious perception across saccades seems smooth and predictable.

The Psychophysics Toolbox.

David H. Brainard
- 01 Jan 1997 - 
TL;DR: The Psychophysics Toolbox is a software package that supports visual psychophysics and its routines provide an interface between a high-level interpreted language and the video display hardware.

The VideoToolbox software for visual psychophysics: transforming numbers into movies.

TL;DR: The VideoToolbox is a free collection of two hundred C subroutines for Macintosh computers that calibrates and controls the computer-display interface to create accurately specified visual stimuli.

A cortical network for directed attention and unilateral neglect.

TL;DR: A network approach to the localization of complex functions offers an alternative to more extreme approaches, some of which stress an exclusive concentration of function within individual centers in the brain and others which advocate a more uniform (equipotential or holistic) distribution.
