Description of the research topic:
For a long time, analyses of neural mechanisms of the healthy human vision were mainly based on experiments carried out with fixed eyes in order to minimize the ocular EEG artefacts and control the sampling of visual information. However, recent advance of recording and signal processing methods may allow a widespread application of experiments with freely moving eyes that more closely reproduce natural viewing conditions. The aim of this research is to reveal the neural basis of active vision by combining eye-tracking and brain imaging techniques (EEG, MRI, fMRI) during different cognitive tasks, such as reading or face perception. Results may have a significant impact on vision research and other related research fields, may also have implication for diagnosis and therapy of different cognitive impairments as well as for development of novel brain-computer interface paradigms.
