Title:
Effects of post-saccadic oscillations on visual processing times
Publication year: 2024

https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0302459
Abstract/Results: Abstract
Saccadic eye movements enable us to search for the target of interest in a crowded scene or, in the case of goal-directed saccades, to simply bring the image of the peripheral target to the very centre of the fovea. This mechanism extends the use of the superior image processing performance of the fovea over a large visual field. We know that visual information is processed quickly at the end of each saccade but estimates of the times involved remain controversial. This study aims to investigate the processing of visual information during post fixation oscillations of the eyeball. A new psychophysical test measures the combined eye movement response latencies, including fixation duration and visual processing times. When the test is used in conjunction with an eye tracker, each component that makes up the ‘integrated saccade latency’ time, from the onset of the peripheral stimulus to the correct interpretation of the information carried by the stimulus, can be measured and the discrete components delineated. The results show that the time required to process and encode the stimulus attribute of interest at the end of a saccade is longer than the time needed to carry out the same task in the absence of an eye movement. We propose two principal hypotheses, each of which can account for this finding. 1. The known inhibition of afferent retinal signals during fast eye movements extends beyond the end point of the saccade. 2. The extended visual processing times measured when saccades are involved are caused by the transient loss of spatial resolution due to eyeball instability during post-saccadic oscillations. The latter can best be described as retinal image smear with greater loss of spatial resolution expected for stimuli of low luminance contrast.

Word order effects in sentence reading
Publication year: 2025

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogpsych.2025.101715
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The SEAM model (Rabe et al., 2024) and the OB1-Reader model (Snell, van Leipsig, et al., 2018) suggest that readers lexically process words in parallel, with the OB1 model further specifying that those words are formed into a sentence-level representation irrespective of their order of presentation. The serial model, E-Z Reader (Reichle, 2011), in contrast, stipulates that words are identified serially and sequentially. The current eye tracking experiment investigated whether, how frequently, and how rapidly readers detect sentential anomalies arising from word transpositions and ungrammatical sentence final words. We also assessed the consequences in the eye movement record of processing such transpositions and ungrammaticalities to evaluate theoretical claims extrapolated from different eye movement models. This was done via target word pair (transposed vs. non-transposed) and a final word grammaticality (grammatical vs. ungrammatical) experimental manipulations. Readers were better at judging the grammaticality of sentences containing both a word transposition and an ungrammatical final word than those with solely a word transposition. Critically, transposed words caused significant disruption to reading, but not prior to readers fixating the first word of the transposed word pair. Furthermore, an ungrammatical sentence-final word attracted readers’ fixations and caused increased re-reading in the absence of a word transposition compared to when it was preceded by a transposed word pair. Together the results show the importance of canonical word order for natural undisrupted reading and question claims for parallel lexical identification in relation to eye movement control during reading.

Visual performance fields in saccadic suppression of image displacement
Publication year: 2025
URL:
https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-025-07152-2
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Visual perception is not homogeneous throughout the visual field. Performance is generally better along the horizontal meridian compared to the vertical meridian, and in the lower compared to the upper visual field. These asymmetries in visual performance are reflected in structural asymmetries in early visual cortex. When exploring a visual scene, eye movements occur continuously, with visual perception resulting from a tight interplay between the visual as well as the oculomotor systems. Literature on visual performance across visual fields during saccades is limited, but existing studies show that perceptual performance during saccades is indistinguishable between the upper and the lower visual fields, or altogether better in the upper visual field compared to lower. In the current exploratory study, we asked participants to detect the direction of target displacement across visual fields, while performing a saccade as well as at fixation. During fixation and saccade viewing conditions, performance on the task was better along the horizontal compared to the vertical meridian. However, we did not observe a robust difference in performance between the lower and upper visual field, neither at fixation nor when participants were requested to perform saccades. We interpret our results based on known behavioural and neural anisotropies, as well as considering evolutionary approaches to the perception-action cycle.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
How do we visually explore and remember objects in our environment? Despite extensive research, the interplay between eye movements and visual memory remains incompletely understood. Traditional models of eye movements focus on image-specific factors like saliency and semantics, but emerging evidence highlights the role of intrinsic factors (e.g., genetic variability, endogenous dynamics). Additionally, eye movements and memory processes are tightly linked at the neural level. This study investigates the influence of eye movement spatial distribution during free exploration of visual scenes on long-term memory formation, examining whether fixation density patterns are a stronger determinant of memory than image factors. We recorded eye movements from 120 participants exploring 180 images, with five repeated five times. Participants then completed a free recall task, verbally reporting objects from the repeated images. Eye movement topography (gaze maps) demonstrated significant overlaps with memory maps, exceeding the overlap with saliency and semantics. Notably, gaze-to-memory map overlap predicted individual performance. These findings provide novel evidence that eye movement patterns contribute directly to long-term memory formation, with gaze topography serving as a critical input for encoding visual scenes. This study highlights the role of eye movements in memory and sheds light on visual exploration and memory consolidation mechanisms.
