title: Active vision and visual activation in area V4.
abstract: During normal vision, the focus of gaze continually jumps from one important image feature to the next. In this issue of Neuron, Mazer and Gallant analyze neural activity in higher-level visual cortex during this kind of active visual exploration, and they demonstrate a localized enhancement of visual responses that predicts the target of the upcoming eye movement.
