Description
Sirui Chen's team used micro eye jumps and EEG to test whether learned lure damping works ahead or after the fact in visual search. People learn to suppress spots where salient lures often appear, but whether damping needs prior hidden focus to that spot was debated.
During pre-cue intervals, micro eye-jump rates fell before onset, yet early micro eye jumps pointed toward likely lure spots more often than away, backing reactive damping. Alpha-wave activity at once carried clear pictures of those spots, showing readying brain setup alongside eye-move involvement in space pattern learning.
