New in the Journal of Neuroscience by Wang et al. When we fixate on one spot, the eyes are far from idle. Here we show that this task depends on two coordinated processes: generating precise microsaccades when needed and suppressing or delaying those that are not. bit.ly/4fTssiQ

Asymmetries in foveal vision
Visual perception is characterized by known asymmetries in the visual field; human’s visual sensitivity is higher along the horizontal than the vertical meridian, and along the lower than the upper ve...
Excited to share our latest study “Asymmetries in foveal vision” by Jenks, Carrasco and Poletti. Using high-resolution eye tracking, we show that perceptual asymmetries exist even within the foveola, and they differ from the well-known extrafoveal asymmetries. doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

Even though the foveal region takes up a large portion of the brain’s visual processing area, it hasn’t been studied as much as other parts of our visual field, mostly because it's technically challenging to precisely track where people are looking.”
Yue Guzhang is a fourth-year student in the @uor-braincogsci.bsky.social at the @urochester.bsky.social in the @aplabur.bsky.social studying how attention and fixational eye movements influence our ability to see fine details in the fovea #URochesterResearch

Obsessed with vision and optics. Opinions (have many but share few) are my own and most posts are from my labs at The University of Waterloo (Canada) and UC Berkeley (USA). Oh...and that's my retina in the profile picture.
