[Attention and eyes movement. Structure of oculomotor system, phenomenology and saccade programming]
Abstract:
In the review modern conceptions of the brain organization of visiomotor system are given. They based on neurophysiological and clinical researches which show reflection of attention processes at various levels of this system. Phenomenological data of saccadic eyes movements and existing models of saccade programming, which expressed on the basis of studying of saccades latent periods variation in different conditions of visual stimulation, are presented. Theoretical ideas of saccade programming stages according to "bloc" model of saccade programming are given. On the basis of literature data and own researches various views at the nature of "Gap-effect" and the express-saccades as a reflections of attention contribution in saccade programming are shown.
