Popis: A critical part of visual perceptions, our ability to orient to a visual environment and quickly identify its most interesting attributes, depends upon our control of eye movements. Within a few seconds of confronting a page of text or a city street our oculomotor control system organizes and executes a series of saccades. The eye darts about the scene, bringing aspects of interest into the narrow field of the fovea for the resolution of detail. In this manner, our oculomotor system paints a global perception of a visual scene or transmits a message from the printed page to the brain.
