Interactions Between Perception and Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements

摘要: When we see a moving object in our environment, visual system analyzes and interprets this object’s trajectory. This motion analysis is very often then used to generate smooth pursuit eye movement that tracks the order stabilize its image on retina. Smooth generation therefore requires signals. However, by stabilizing retinal of object, necessarily causes images stationary objects. Since such induced does not dramatically affect – more importantly, cause objects be perceived as it clear depending context, similar sensory inputs can either influence both perception or at all. Recent research has suggested interaction between processing constitutes core general high-level perceptual integration movements. Specifically, drive signals move eyes need purely nature, but also integrated based disparate directions. Moreover, ongoing motor commands themselves are only cancel percepts stable objects, perceptually disambiguate spatial relationships features These results suggest bidirectional interactions action allow maximum flexibility generating coherent environment associated actions environment.
