Mechanisms of visual attention revealed by saccadic eye movements.
This paper summarizes recent data on the initiation of saccadic eye movement in relation to the mechanisms of visual attention. In particular, the occurrence of express saccades, defined by their extremely short reaction times, is discussed on the basis of the observation that these saccades do not occur when the subjects (man or monkey) are attending to either a fixation point or to any other ...
متن کاملCortical networks underlying coordinated movements revealed by magnetoencephalographic beamforming
Event-related beamformer analyses was applied to magnetoencephalographic data from five subjects who performed synchronized and syncopated unimanual motor coordination tasks at rates ranging from 1.25 to 1.75Hz. For syncopation, the stability of the coordination pattern decreased systematically with increasing movement rate. Averaged sensor data revealed the motor field (MF) and motor evoked fi...
متن کاملThe Existence of a Hypnotic State Revealed by Eye Movements
Hypnosis has had a long and controversial history in psychology, psychiatry and neurology, but the basic nature of hypnotic phenomena still remains unclear. Different theoretical approaches disagree as to whether or not hypnosis may involve an altered mental state. So far, a hypnotic state has never been convincingly demonstrated, if the criteria for the state are that it involves some objectiv...
متن کاملWill plant movements keep up with climate change?
In the face of anthropogenic climate change, species must acclimate, adapt, move, or die. Although some species are moving already, their ability to keep up with the faster changes expected in the future is unclear. 'Migration lag' is a particular concern with plants, because it could threaten both biodiversity and carbon storage. Plant movements are not realistically represented in models curr...
متن کاملSlow, fast and furious: understanding the physics of plant movements.
The ability of plants to move is central to many physiological processes from development to tropisms, from nutrition to reproduction. The movement of plants or plant parts occurs over a wide range of sizes and time scales. This review summarizes the main physical mechanisms plants use to achieve motility, highlighting recent work at the frontier of biology and physics on rapid movements. Empha...
