Saccadic eye movements impose a natural bottleneck on visual short-term memory.
Sven Ohl,Martin Rolfs +1 more
TL;DR: A strong case is made that saccades inadvertently determine the content of VSTM, and the key role of actions for the fundamental building blocks of cognition is highlighted.

Microsaccades Are Coupled to Heartbeat.
TL;DR: A coupling of the oculomotor system and ongoing heartbeat is demonstrated, which provides further evidence for bodily influences on visuomotor functioning and highlights the need to record eye movements when studying the influence of heartbeat in neuroscience to avoid misinterpretation of eye-movement-related artifacts as heart-evoked modulations of neural processing.

Memory for action: a functional view of selection in visual working memory
Anna Heuer,Sven Ohl,Martin Rolfs +2 more
TL;DR: Evidence that maintenance in visual working memory is similarly influenced by actions, planned and executed well after encoding is reviewed, which promotes a more functional perspective on visualWorking memory that emphasizes its role in action control.

Active information sampling varies across the cardiac cycle.
Stella Kunzendorf,Stella Kunzendorf,Felix Klotzsche,Mert Akbal,Arno Villringer,Sven Ohl,Michael Gaebler,Michael Gaebler +7 more
TL;DR: The heartbeat's role for active information sampling is studied-testing whether humans implicitly act upon their environment so that relevant signals appear during preferred cardiac phases, thereby extending previous findings on the association between body-brain interactions and behavior.

Compensatory eye and head movements of patients with homonymous hemianopia in the naturalistic setting of a driving simulation
Markus Bahnemann,Johanna Hamel,Sophie De Beukelaer,Sven Ohl,Stefanie Kehrer,Heinrich J. Audebert,Antje Kraft,Stephan A. Brandt +7 more
TL;DR: High performance of patients with HH in the naturalistic setting of the driving simulation depended on an adapted visual exploratory behavior characterized by a relative increase in the amplitude and a corresponding increase inThe peak velocity of saccades, widening horizontally the distribution of eye movements, and by a shift of the overall distribution of sAccades into the blind hemifield.
