Active Vision: Dynamic Reformatting of Visual Information by the Saccade-Drift Cycle

Abstract

Visual processing depends on rapid parsing of global features followed by analysis of fine detail. A new study suggests that this transformation is enabled by a cycle of saccades and fixational drifts, which reformat visual input to match the spatiotemporal sensitivity of fast and slow neuronal pathways.
