Before the eye moves: microsaccade preparation expands spatial integration at the center of gaze

The paper shows that microsaccade preparation increases foveal crowding by expanding spatial integration at the center of gaze, even when sensitivity to isolated stimuli remains unchanged.

Looking for Details: Fine-Grained Visual Search at the Foveal Scale

The paper demonstrates that visual search occurs within the foveal region with high precision, challenging the traditional view that ignores fine-grained search in the central visual field.

Temporal dynamics of peri-microsaccadic modulations within the foveola

The paper investigates the temporal dynamics of visual performance modulations during microsaccades in the central fovea, showing performance peaks before microsaccade onset and recovers after landing.

Subfoveal scotomas trigger fine-scale fixation reorganization: insights from retinal imaging and retinal-contingent stimulation

This study investigates how subfoveal scotomas affect fixation behavior and reveals fine-scale plasticity in the human visuomotor system.

Distinct growth regimes govern crowding in foveal and extrafoveal vision

The paper investigates crowding in the foveola and finds that crowding increases linearly but at a slower rate than in the extrafovea, challenging the assumption of uniform processing in the central visual field.

Frequency-dependent modulation of foveal contrast sensitivity by fine-scale exogenously triggered attention

This study investigates how exogenous attention modulates contrast sensitivity at different spatial frequencies within the foveola, finding selective enhancement for low-to-mid-range frequencies.

Asymmetries in foveal vision

This study investigates visual asymmetries in the foveola and finds that perceptual asymmetries persist, with reversed vertical meridian effects compared to more eccentric locations.

High refresh rate display for natural monocular viewing in AOSLO psychophysics experiments

This paper demonstrates a high refresh rate display integrated with an AOSLO to enable natural monocular viewing and precise psychophysics experiments with high spatial and temporal resolution.

Eye drift during fixation predicts visual acuity

The paper shows that eye drift during fixation correlates with visual acuity, allowing acuity prediction from drift patterns without direct measurement.
