  • Title: Unconscious cues bias first saccades in a free-saccade task.
    Author: Huang YF, Tan EG, Soon CS, Hsieh PJ.
    Journal: Conscious Cogn; 2014 Oct; 29():48-55. PubMed ID: 25108793.
    Abstract:
    Visual-spatial attention can be biased towards salient visual information without visual awareness. It is unclear, however, whether such bias can further influence free-choices such as saccades in a free viewing task. In our experiment, we presented visual cues below awareness threshold immediately before people made free saccades. Our results showed that masked cues could influence the direction and latency of the first free saccade, suggesting that salient visual information can unconsciously influence free actions.
