  "summary": "Active vision is often considered at the scale of saccades, with each fixation treated as a static visual sample. Yet the eyes continue to move during fixation, continually transforming the retinal input. Here we measured these movements at high precision while recording neuronal populations in the foveal primary visual cortex of awake marmosets viewing repeated flashed natural images. Fixational…",
