We investigated this question in the monkey frontal eye field, which is implicated in voluntary control of saccades. We found that only for G-saccades, the variability in spike rate across trials decreased, the regularity of spike timings within trials increased, the neural activity increased earlier from baseline and had a concurrent reduction of LFP beta band power.
