2. Figure 1
Human visual experience is composed of sequences of brief fixations directed to points of interest in a scene.
(A) The brain directs the eyes across a scene in order to acquire detailed information in important locations. With each new fixation, the retinal image is overwritten, yet the brain integrates the snapshots into a stable perceptual framework. (B) In the Podvalny et al. [3] study, neural responses during natural viewing differed fundamentally between retinotopic and face-selective visual cortex. In retinotopic visual cortex (left), responses during each fixation showed an initial suppression and then a transient excitatory response that was highly dependent on the gaze sampling dynamics. By contrast, sites in face-selective visual cortex (right) were marked by unique and characteristic temporal response profiles that were invariant to details of each fixation.
