Summary: This study examined the programming of rapid eye movements and found that visual distractors have a stronger effect on the lower visual field. This observation challenges the traditional model and suggests a revision to account for the asymmetry between the upper and lower visual field.

Summary: Purposeful motor actions rely on the brain's representation of the body, known as the body schema. Previous studies have focused on single motor actions, but this research investigates the body schema during multiple motor actions, revealing the presence of effector-specific body representations.

Summary: Combining the motor simulation techniques of action observation and motor imagery (AOMI) has been shown to enhance motor performance. This study examined the involvement of lower-level sensorimotor processes in the improvement of a dart-throwing task using AOMI. Results showed that simultaneous and alternate congruent groups had significantly improved dart-throwing performance compared to control groups. This improvement was accompanied by lower EMG activity, suggesting greater movement efficiency. AOMI involves a common lower-level sensorimotor process that can lead to motor facilitation or interference, depending on the congruency of the simulation techniques, regardless of the delivery structure.

Summary: The emotional attentional blink refers to a transient impairment in the ability to discriminate a single target when it is presented closely in time to an emotional distractor. This study found that emotional distractors impacted target processing in a lag-dependent, graded manner, as evidenced by changes in reaction time, target-vividness ratings, and target-discrimination accuracy.

Summary: Research using eye tracking methods has shown that infants between 6 to 10 months of age shift their visual attention from the eye region to the mouth region when viewing faces, with this shift influenced by stimulus characteristics and infants' experiences with faces and languages. Infants generally prefer the lower regions of faces, particularly the mouth region, but this preference varies depending on stimulus characteristics and is stronger for infants exposed to faces of more races and multiple languages. These findings demonstrate the importance of leveraging eye tracking data to understand the factors influencing infants' visual exploration of faces.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the effects of internal task type and workload on eye behavior. The findings suggest that engagement in internal tasks delays saccades to the target and this delay is moderated by time, task, and workload. The results indicate that perceptual decoupling of eye behavior gradually increases with internal demands on cognitive resources and is specifically sensitive to internal demands on visuospatial resources.

Summary: The study developed and validated an automated contrast sensitivity test using real-time detection of optokinetic nystagmus and an adaptive psychometric procedure. Results showed that spatial frequency and defocus had a significant effect on OKN-based contrast sensitivity.

Summary: Anti-IgLON5 disease patients show distinct differences in ocular motor function compared to PSP patients, including saccade velocity and accuracy, presence of square wave jerks and supranuclear gaze palsy. Analysis of nystagmus, smooth pursuit eye movements, VOR, and VOR suppression can reliably differentiate between the two diseases. Clear differences in all parameters, although not always significant, were found between patients and healthy controls.

Summary: Twitching during sleep is important for the development of the sensorimotor system, and the relationship between twitching and sleep spindles strengthens with age.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in visual search behavior between experts and novices in team sports athletes. The analysis of 22 studies found that the distinction between experts and novices was not clear in the variables analyzed, possibly due to the different strategies chosen in each study. This indicates the need for more research in this field to address this issue.

Summary: This study challenges the traditional view that motor adaptation is solely driven by trial-and-error process, and suggests that errors may not be necessary for motor learning. The results indicate the presence of other mechanisms that can drive learning without actual movement.

Summary: Flies control their gaze through head turns and flexibly adjust their gaze to compensate for visual motion using a mechanism similar to optokinetic nystagmus. This mechanism is less state-dependent compared to other neurons' response properties.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Fixation Eye Movement (FEM) abnormalities and binocular contrast sensitivity and optotype acuity deficits in amblyopia. The results showed that amblyopic subjects, with or without nystagmus, had worse binocular contrast sensitivity and optotype acuity compared to controls. The abnormalities were most pronounced in amblyopic subjects with Fusion Maldevelopment Nystagmus (FMN). Fixation instability, amplitude, and velocity of FEMs were correlated with reduced visual function in amblyopia.

Summary: Response control or inhibition is crucial in modern cognitive psychology but the lack of consistent correlations between commonly used tasks has raised doubts about the existence of common response conflict processes. Behavior is multifaceted, with both conflict and nonconflict processes contributing to individual differences. Using a cognitive model can help to differentiate these processes, with the need to control for strategy and processing speed when studying correlations between tasks.
