Dynamic fixation and active perception

摘要

Fixation is the link between the physical environment and the visual observer, both of which can be dynamic. That is, dynamic fixation serves the task of preserving a reference point in the world, despite relative motion. In this respect, fixation is dynamical in two senses: in response to voluntary changes of fixation point or attentive cues-gaze shiftings, and in response to the desire to compensate for the retinal slip-gaze holding.
