Abstract: | The relationship between attention and eye movements is explored by consideration of the variety of ways attention may affect
saccade programming. Four forms of attention are distinguished: one exogenous and three endogenous through either locations
or objects or features. Each of these can control or influence the saccadic generation process. Visual onsets generate a rapid
transient signal with low resolution that travels from the visual system to the oculomotor system. Generation of an eye movement
is associated with an attentional signal, probably also with low resolution, travelling from the oculomotor system to the
visual system. A high-resolution attentional signal, which appears to require voluntary effort, can also select saccadic targets. |
