Modulation of saccade trajectories during sequential saccades
Reza Azadi, Elizabeth Y. Zhu, Robert M. McPeek · Journal of Neurophysiology · 2021
We show that in saccade sequences, saccade trajectory is modulated in the direction of the preceding saccade and away from the following saccade. The magnitude of this effect is correlated with preceding and following saccade amplitude. This confirms that programming of sequential saccades overlaps. Curvature is also correlated with the deviation of saccade start and end points. Thus, we propose a novel benefit for the modulation of saccade trajectories: minimizing end point error in sequential saccades.
