Tracking the mind's eye: Primate gaze behavior during virtual visuomotor navigation reflects belief dynamics

KJ Lakshminarasimhan, E Avila, E Neyhart… - Neuron, 2020 - cell.com
To take the best actions, we often need to maintain and update beliefs about variables that
cannot be directly observed. To understand the principles underlying such belief updates …

Sensory evidence accumulation using optic flow in a naturalistic navigation task

P Alefantis, K Lakshminarasimhan, E Avila… - Journal of …, 2022 - Soc Neuroscience
Sensory evidence accumulation is considered a hallmark of decision-making in noisy

Gaze fixation improves the stability of expert juggling

JC Dessing, FP Rey, PJ Beek - Experimental brain research, 2012 - Springer
Novice and expert jugglers employ different visuomotor strategies: whereas novices look at
the balls around their zeniths, experts tend to fixate their gaze at a central location within the …

Humans use predictive gaze strategies to target waypoints for steering

S Tuhkanen, J Pekkanen, P Rinkkala, C Mole… - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
A major unresolved question in understanding visually guided locomotion in humans is
whether actions are driven solely by the immediately available optical information (model …

Perceptual decisions about object shape bias visuomotor coordination during rapid interception movements

DA Barany, A Gómez-Granados… - Journal of …, 2020 - journals.physiology.org

Neural implementation of Bayesian inference in a sensorimotor behavior

TR Darlington, JM Beck, SG Lisberger - Nature neuroscience, 2018 - nature.com
Actions are guided by a Bayesian-like interaction between priors based on experience and
current sensory evidence. Here we unveil a complete neural implementation of Bayesian …

Learning rational temporal eye movement strategies

D Hoppe, CA Rothkopf - Proceedings of the National …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
During active behavior humans redirect their gaze several times every second within the
visual environment. Where we look within static images is highly efficient, as quantified by …
