The relationship between curvature and velocity in two-dimensional smooth pursuit eye movements

C de'Sperati, P Viviani - Journal of Neuroscience, 1997 - Soc Neuroscience
Curvature and tangential velocity of voluntary hand movements are constrained by an
empirical relation known as the Two-Thirds Power Law. It has been argued that the law reflects …

Blind saccades: an asynchrony between seeing and looking

C de'Sperati, G Baud-Bovy - Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
Saccades may not always wait for the completion of the perceptual analysis. By taking
advantage of a motion-induced illusion of position and of the spontaneous scatter of saccade …

[HTML][HTML] The early phase of horizontal optokinetic responses in the pigmented rat and the effects of lesions of the visual cortex

RJ Harvey, C De'sperati, P Strata - Vision research, 1997 - Elsevier
Horizontal optokinetic responses of pigmented rats were studied both in intact animals and
in animals that had received lesions of the visual area of the cerebral cortex. In response to …

Precise oculomotor correlates of visuospatial mental rotation and circular motion imagery

C De'Sperati - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2003 - direct.mit.edu
Visual imagery is a basic form of cognition central to activities such as problem solving or
creative thinking. Phenomena such as mental rotation, in which mental images undergo spatial …

Both vision-for-perception and vision-for-action follow Weber's law at small object sizes, but violate it at larger sizes

N Bruno, S Uccelli, E Viviani, C De'Sperati - Neuropsychologia, 2016 - Elsevier
According to a previous report, the visual coding of size does not obey Weber's law when
aimed at guiding a grasp (Ganel et al., 2008a). This result has been interpreted as evidence for …

Recognizing the motion of a graspable object is guided by handedness

C de'Sperati, N Stucchi - Neuroreport, 1997 - journals.lww.com
SUBJECTS viewing a rotating screwdriver presented in a motion picture were asked whether
it was screwing or unscrewing. A difference emerged in the performance of right-and left-…

The influence of selection modality, display dynamics and error feedback on patterns of human foraging

IM Thornton, C De'Sperati, Á Kristjánsson - Visual Cognition, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
In previous studies, we have used an iPad task to explore how humans “forage” through
static displays containing multiple targets from two categories. When demands on attention …

A human-computer interface based on the “voluntary” pupil accommodative response

F Ponzio, AEL Villalobos, L Mesin, C De'Sperati… - International Journal of …, 2019 - Elsevier
Objectives Changes in pupil size are governed by the autonomic nervous system but may
be systematically driven by voluntary shifting the gaze in depth. Thus, the pupil …
