This study uses TMS to show that rFEF+ is not required for exogenous attention, contrasting with V1/V2's role, revealing distinct neural mechanisms for voluntary and involuntary attention.

This study shows presaccadic attention enhances and reshapes the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) across spatial frequencies, with greater effects at horizontal meridians.

This study uses a robotics-based algorithm, AICON, to model human visual illusions and validates its predictions through psychophysical experiments, revealing individual differences in visual processing.

The paper shows presaccadic attention enhances contrast sensitivity for horizontal and downward saccades but not upward, and links this to V1 cortical magnification.

EasyEyes enables accurate fixation for online vision testing without gaze tracking, showing consistent crowding thresholds across lab and online settings.

The paper shows that pre-saccadic previews influence post-saccadic processing more in areas of poor peripheral vision, revealing compensation for visual field asymmetries.

This study uses TMS to disrupt activity in rFEF+ and V1/V2 to determine their causal role in endogenous attention, finding that rFEF+ disruption weakens attentional benefits and costs, while V1/V2 disruption does not affect endogenous attention.

This paper investigates the causal roles of human frontal eye fields (FEF) and early visual cortex in presaccadic attention using TMS, showing differential effects on perceptual benefits and costs.

This study investigates whether presaccadic attention improves peripheral spatial resolution and whether this effect varies with polar angle locations, finding that attention sharpens acuity uniformly across locations.

The paper introduces a 1/f noise protocol to measure visual attention without biasing perceptual processing, showing orientation discrimination accuracy is independent of retinal eccentricity.

This paper assesses presaccadic attention distribution using dynamic 1/f noise, showing attention shifts to target locations even in unstructured fields and highlighting attentional costs at fixation.

This study shows presaccadic attention improves contrast sensitivity at horizontal and lower vertical meridians but not upper vertical meridian, exacerbating performance asymmetries.

This study shows that voluntary attentional control is disrupted by simultaneous eye and hand movement plans, even when task difficulty is reduced, indicating its fragility compared to automatic attentional shifts.

The paper tests whether exogenous attention is limited to the oculomotor range by showing that salient cues outside this range also disrupt endogenous attention.

The paper tests whether attention is shared or independent between eye and hand movements using the TVA model, finding no increase in attention capacity with dual effector use.
