saccade

After fixations lasting 120 ms to 130 ms, eye moves {saccade}|, in 100 ms, to a new fixation position.

brain

Superior colliculus controls involuntary saccades. Brain controls saccades using fixed vectors in retinotopic coordinates and using endpoint trajectories in head or body coordinates [Bridgeman et al., 1979] [Bridgeman et al., 1981] [Goodale et al., 1986].

movement

People do not have saccades while following moving objects or turning head while fixating objects.

transformation

When eye moves from one fixation to another, brain translates whole image up to 100 degrees of arc. World appears to stand still while eyes move, probably because motor signals to move eyes cancel perceptual retinal movement signals.

perception

Automatic saccades do not noticeably change scene [Akins, 1996] [Blackmore et al., 1995] [Dmytryk, 1984] [Grimes, 1996] [O'Regan et al., 1999] [Rensink et al., 1997] [Simons and Chabris, 1999] [Simons and Levin, 1997] [Simons and Levin, 1998] [Wilken, 2001].
