摘要:Inspired by the pioneering work of Joan Vickers, Quiet Eye (QE) research has gained increased attention from researchers in disciplines ranging from Sports Science to Neuroscience. A recent target article by Vickers (2016) provides an overview of QE research relating to expert performance, oculomotor control, attention, anxiety, and child development. In this commentary, we provide a neuroscientific perspective on QE and optimal oculomotor control and discuss their possible underlying brain mechanisms. We focus primarily on the role of the parietal-frontal network and question its involvement in visuomotor transformations and processing of an efference copy. To address these issues, we discuss the potential benefits of adapting transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques to QE research. In addition, a brief perspective on QE research in patients with neurodegenerative disorders and aging is provided.
