Do we really see without attention? • Inattention Paradigms • Attentional Blink • Change Blindness • Intentionally Ignored Information
What we think we see! What we really see!
Visual Attention (selection) • Overt Visual Attention (eye movements) • Covert Visual Attention
Eye Movements 1. Physiological Nystagmus 2. Saccadic Eye Movements 3. Smooth Pursuit 4. Vergence Movements 5. Vestibular Movements 6. Optokinetic Movements
Physiological Nystagmus • Preventing from stabilizing the image • Random walk movements
Saccadic Eye Movements • Very Rapid (150-200ms planning and action) (900 degree per second) • Ballistic Movements
Saccadic Eye MovementsSaccadic Suppression • Motion Blur Problem • “Too Fast Motion” explanation! • “Visual Masking” explanation • Is it a real problem!?
Smooth Pursuit • Slower Than Saccade (100 degree per sec at maximum) • Smooth (not jerky) • Feedback (not ballistic) • Acuity (importance of smooth pursuit in biology)
Vergence Movements • Slow (10 degree per Sec) • Diconjugate
Vestibular Movements • Head is not still! • Faster than pursuit • Mostly unconscious • Controlled by vestibular system
Optokinetic Movements • Involuntary tracking of large field movements • Bi-phasic (slow-fast) • Vertigo!
Covert Visual Attention… • How to select target of next saccade? • There are some social conditions in which we can’t shift our attention overtly • Attending to more than one item
