Figure 1.

Numbers of papers that contain either the search term ‘microsaccades’ (yellow) or ‘microsaccades AND attention’ (blue) in abstract, title or keyword searches in Scopus, from 1948 to 2018. It should be noted that papers prior to 1996 may not be searchable via Scopus. Indeed a substantial number of papers prior to that date are included in our review, but not in the database search. However, the general trend since 1996 is evident.
