Fixational Eye Movements as Active Sensation for High Visual Acuity

Fixational Eye Movements as Active Sensation for High Visual Acuity Academic Background Human visual perception is a complex process, especially when we attempt to maintain stable gaze. Even then, the eyes still produce small involuntary movements known as fixational eye movements (FEM). These FEM typically include drifts and microsaccades. Previou...
