Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Selective spatial attention is crucial for processing stimuli in complex environments.
  • Microsaccades (MSs) are involuntary eye movements linked to visual spatial attention.
  • The interaction between auditory spatial attention and MSs is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between MS direction and auditory spatial attention.
  • To determine if MSs can serve as a marker for auditory spatial attention.
  • To explore the influence of auditory attention on subcortical auditory processing.

Main Methods:

  • Auditory dichotic oddball sound detection tasks were performed by human participants.
  • Microsaccade (MS) direction was recorded and analyzed in relation to sound presentation.
  • Correlation between MS direction and auditory brainstem neural responses (frequency-following response) was examined.

Main Results:

  • MS direction was biased contralateral to the attended or stimulated ear.
  • Post-oddball MS direction modulation correlated with detection task performance.
  • A significant correlation was found between MS direction and auditory brainstem neural activity.

Conclusions:

  • Microsaccades (MSs) serve as a marker for auditory spatial attention.
  • Auditory attention influences MS direction, and MSs can be inhibited during selective tasks.
  • Auditory neural activity dynamically interacts with attentional states and oculomotor control.
