  • The switch between these continuous and discrete eye movements is a trade-off between tolerating sustained position error (PE) when no saccade is triggered or a transient loss of vision during the saccade due to saccadic suppression. (eneuro.org)
  • Thus, accurate tracking requires a synergistic coordination of saccades and smooth pursuit eye movements to overcome retinal position and velocity mismatches, respectively. (eneuro.org)

  • Informed by model predictions, we hypothesized that saccade trigger time length and variability will increase when pre-saccadic predicted errors are small or visual uncertainty is high (e.g., for blurred targets). (eneuro.org)
  • The most important parameter is saccadic activity ( Saccade is a rapid eye jump to a new location assigned by the conscious attention process), which enables the system to monitor the status of the operator's visual attention along with head acceleration, which accompanies large displacement of the visual axis (saccades larger than 15 degrees). (ukessays.ae)
  • From these studies, it is thought that saccades in scenes tend to be 2-4° in amplitude ( Henderson and Hollingworth, 1998 ) and fixations tend to last 200-300 ms ( Rayner, 2009 ). (frontiersin.org)

  • To con- fuse matters further, animals could be trained not to make a saccade when an object appeared in the visual field, showing that the activation of visual neurons is sometimes insufficient to command saccades. (banglaforexacademy.com)
