Consequences of eye movements for spatial selectivity.

ABSTRACT: What determines spatial tuning in the visual system? Standard views rely on the assumption that spatial information is directly inherited from the relative position of photoreceptors and shaped by neuronal connectivity.^1,2 However, human eyes are always in motion during fixation,^3,4,5,6 so retinal neurons receive temporal modulations that depend on the interaction of the spatial structure of the stimulus with eye movements. It has long been hypothesized that these modulations might contribute to spatial encoding,^{7,8,9,10,11,12} a proposal supported by several rece
