Changes in visual perception at the time of saccades

J Ross, MC Morrone, ME Goldberg, DC Burr - Trends in neurosciences, 2001 - cell.com
We frequently reposition our gaze by making rapid ballistic eye movements that are called
saccades. Saccades pose problems for the visual system, because they generate rapid, large-…

[HTML][HTML] Long Covid: where we stand and challenges ahead

A Mantovani, MC Morrone, C Patrono… - Cell Death & …, 2022 - nature.com
Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), also known as Post-Covid Syndrome, and
colloquially as Long Covid, has been defined as a constellation of signs and symptoms which …

Saccades compress space, time and number

DC Burr, J Ross, P Binda, MC Morrone - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2010 - cell.com
It has been suggested that space, time and number are represented on a common subjective
scale. Saccadic eye movements provide a fascinating test. Saccades compress the …

Feature detection from local energy

MC Morrone, RA Owens - Pattern recognition letters, 1987 - Elsevier
A more general definition of features such as edges, shadows and bars is developed, based
on an analysis of the phase of the harmonic components. These features always occur at …

Selective suppression of the magnocellular visual pathway during saccadic eye movements

DC Burr, MC Morrone, J Ross - Nature, 1994 - nature.com
VISUAL scientists have long sought to explain why the world remains stable during
saccades, the ballistic eye-movements that continually displace the retinal image at fast but …

Compression of visual space before saccades

J Ross, MC Morrone, DC Burr - Nature, 1997 - nature.com
Saccadic eye movements, in which the eye moves rapidly between two resting positions,
shift the position of our retinal images. If our perception of the world is to remain stable, the …

Functional implications of cross-orientation inhibition of cortical visual cells. I. Neurophysiological evidence

MC Morrone, DC Burr, L Maffei - Proceedings of the …, 1982 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Simple and complex cells of striate cortex of anaesthetized and paralysed cats were
stimulated with two superimposed one-dimensional grating stimuli of different orientations to …

Saccadic eye movements cause compression of time as well as space

MC Morrone, J Ross, D Burr - Nature neuroscience, 2005 - nature.com
There is now considerable evidence that space is compressed when stimuli are flashed shortly
before or after the onset of a saccadic eye movement. Here we report that short intervals …

A cortical area that responds specifically to optic flow, revealed by fMRI

MC Morrone, M Tosetti, D Montanaro, A Fiorentini… - Nature …, 2000 - nature.com
The continuously changing optic flow on the retina provides information about direction of
heading and about the three-dimensional structure of the environment. Here we use functional …

Seeing biological motion

P Neri, MC Morrone, DC Burr - Nature, 1998 - nature.com
One of the more stunning examples of the resourcefulness of human vision is the ability to
see ‘biological motion’, which was first shown 1 with an adaptation of earlier cinematic work 2 …
