Evidence for confounding eye movements under attempted fixation and active viewing in cognitive neuroscience

Eye movements can have serious confounding effects in cognitive neuroscience experiments. Therefore, participants are commonly asked to fixate. Regardless, participants will make so-called fixational eye movements under attempted fixation, which are …

Eye movements explain decodability during perception and cued attention in MEG

Eye movements are an integral part of human perception, but can induce artifacts in many magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) studies. For this reason, investigators try to minimize eye movements and remove these artifacts …

The role of the frontal eye fields in oculomotor competition: image-guided TMS enhances contralateral target selection

In order to execute a correct eye movement to a target in a search display, a saccade program toward the target element must be activated, while saccade programs toward distracting elements must be inhibited. The aim of the present study was to …
