Visual space is compressed in prefrontal cortex before eye movements

M Zirnsak, NA Steinmetz, B Noudoost, KZ Xu, T Moore - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
We experience the visual world through a series of saccadic eye movements, each one
shifting our gaze to bring objects of interest to the fovea for further processing. Although such …

Neural mechanisms of selective visual attention

T Moore, M Zirnsak - Annual review of psychology, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Selective visual attention describes the tendency of visual processing to be confined largely
to stimuli that are relevant to behavior. It is among the most fundamental of cognitive …

[HTML][HTML] The peri-saccadic perception of objects and space

FH Hamker, M Zirnsak, D Calow… - PLoS computational …, 2008 - journals.plos.org
Eye movements affect object localization and object recognition. Around saccade onset,
briefly flashed stimuli appear compressed towards the saccade target, receptive fields …

[HTML][HTML] Spatial working memory alters the efficacy of input to visual cortex

…, K Clark, E Albarran, M Parsa, M Zirnsak… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Prefrontal cortex modulates sensory signals in extrastriate visual cortex, in part via its direct
projections from the frontal eye field (FEF), an area involved in selective attention. We find …

Saccades and shifting receptive fields: anticipating consequences or selecting targets?

M Zirnsak, T Moore - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2014 - cell.com
Saccadic eye movements cause frequent and substantial displacements of the retinal image,
but those displacements go unnoticed. It has been widely assumed that this perceived …

Social and attention‐to‐detail subclusters of autistic traits differentially predict looking at eyes and face identity recognition ability

J Davis, E McKone, M Zirnsak, T Moore… - British Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
This study distinguished between different subclusters of autistic traits in the general population
and examined the relationships between these subclusters, looking at the eyes of faces, …

[PDF][PDF] Parietal cortex regulates visual salience and salience-driven behavior

X Chen, M Zirnsak, GM Vega, E Govil, SG Lomber… - Neuron, 2020 - cell.com
Unique stimuli stand out. Despite an abundance of competing sensory stimuli, the detection
of the most salient ones occurs without effort, and that detection contributes to the guidance …

Computational models of spatial updating in peri-saccadic perception

FH Hamker, M Zirnsak, A Ziesche… - … Transactions of the …, 2011 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Perceptual phenomena that occur around the time of a saccade, such as peri-saccadic
mislocalization or saccadic suppression of displacement, have often been linked to mechanisms …

V4 receptive field dynamics as predicted by a systems-level model of visual attention using feedback from the frontal eye field

FH Hamker, M Zirnsak - Neural Networks, 2006 - Elsevier
Visual attention is generally considered to facilitate the processing of the attended stimulus.
Its mechanisms, however, are still under debate. We have developed a systems-level model …

[HTML][HTML] The spatial distribution of receptive field changes in a model of peri-saccadic perception: predictive remapping and shifts towards the saccade target

M Zirnsak, M Lappe, FH Hamker - Vision research, 2010 - Elsevier
At the time of an impending saccade receptive fields (RFs) undergo dynamic changes, that
is, their spatial profile is altered. This phenomenon has been observed in several monkey …
