Abstract

Subjects were required to perceptually judge the location of flash targets presented at the time of a saccade at various positions scattered two-dimensionally on a dimly illuminated structured background. The saccade-contingent mislocalization was shown only in the direction parallel to the saccade, and not in the direction perpendicular to the saccade. In addition, the mislocalization under the “illuminated background” condition was different in several respects from that observed when targets were presented in the dark. It was suggested that the mislocalization is successfully explained by assuming three physiological and cognitive processes: a sluggish activity of the extraretinal eye position signal, visual cues from the visible background, and selective inattention to image displacements.

How post-saccadic target blanking affects the detection of stimulus displacements across saccades
2018, Vision Research
Citation Excerpt :
The results of the present experiments reveal that one refinement to the proposal of Deubel and colleagues is needed, however, and that is that the pre-saccadic target position is misremembered as being closer to central fixation than it actually is immediately after the saccade and more precise information about its position becomes available after a short delay. This refinement is consistent with other studies that have suggested that the eye position signal lags behind the eye movement itself by some period of time (e.g., Honda, 1993; Matin, 1976, 1986; Matin & Pearce, 1965; Ross et al., 1997). As in the experiments of Irwin and Robinson (2015), Experiments 1 and 2 of the current paper found that blanking increased the false alarm rate (i.e., “move” responses when the target did not move) compared to no-blank trials.
When a visual stimulus is displaced during a saccade the displacement is often not noticed unless it is large compared to the amplitude of the eye movement. Displacement detection is improved, however, if a blank intervenes between saccade target offset and the presentation of the displaced post-saccadic stimulus. This has been interpreted as evidence that precise information about eye position and accurate memory for the position of the pre-saccadic target are available immediately after saccade offset, but are overridden by the presence of the post-saccadic stimulus if it is present when the eyes land. In the current set of experiments we examined in more detail how blanking contributes to the increase in displacement sensitivity. In two experiments we showed that the presentation of a blank interval between saccade offset and the presentation of the displaced stimulus improved people’s ability to detect that the stimulus had been displaced and also their ability to judge the direction that it had been displaced, but only for displacements opposite to the direction of the saccade (backward displacements). A third experiment suggested that this improvement in the detection of backward displacements was due in part to subjects misremembering the saccade target location as being closer to the initial fixation point than it actually was immediately after the saccade but remembering its location more veridically 50 ms later. This has the effect of improving the detection of displacements as well as their direction of displacement, but preferentially for backwards vs. forward displacements.
Accumulating visual information for action
2017, Progress in Brain Research
In this chapter, we discuss the way in which visual information is gathered and try to relate this to the task at hand. It is well established that people direct their gaze toward the places at which they expect to be able to gather the most useful information. Studies of gaze during goal-directed actions show that people also make sure to gather information precisely at the moment that they need it. We argue that the eye movements that people make during interception tasks and the precision that people achieve in such tasks suggest that people constantly update their estimates of the details that are needed to successfully hit the target. The updating predominantly consists of replacing the previously acquired information, rather than of adding to such information.
Contrast dependence of saccadic blanking and landmark effects
2016, Vision Research
Two phenomena have been reported to affect the perceived displacement of a visual target during saccadic eye movements: the blanking effect and landmark effect. In the blanking effect, temporarily blanking the target after a saccade improves displacement judgments. In the landmark effect, illusory target displacement occurs when a continuously presented landmark is displaced during a saccade, and the target is temporarily blanked after the saccade without displacement. We show that the strengths of the blanking and landmark effects vary with stimulus contrast. In the blanking effect, target displacement detection rate increased with luminance contrast of the target. In the landmark effect, illusory target displacement decreased with luminance contrast of the target. Moreover, the landmark effect was found even for stimuli without luminance contrast (equiluminant color stimuli), while the blanking effect disappeared. These results can be attributed to a reduction in sensitivity of target displacement by a reduction of luminance contrast, which suggests that changes in luminance, or transient signals, play a critical role in visual stability across saccades.
The spatial profile of mask-induced compression for perception and action
2015, Vision Research
Stimuli briefly flashed just before a saccade are perceived closer to the saccade target, a phenomenon known as saccadic compression of space. We have recently demonstrated that similar mislocalizations of flashed stimuli can be observed in the absence of saccades: brief probes were attracted towards a visual reference when followed by a mask. To examine the spatial profile of this new phenomenon of masked-induced compression, here we used a pair of references that draw the probe into the gap between them. Strong compression was found when we masked the probe and presented it following a reference pair, whereas little or no compression occurred for the probe without the reference pair or without the mask. When the two references were arranged vertically, horizontal mislocalizations prevailed. That is, probes presented to the left or right of the vertically arranged references were “drawn in” to be seen aligned with the references. In contrast, when we arranged the two references horizontally, we found vertical compression for stimuli presented above or below the references. Finally, when participants were to indicate the perceived probe location by making an eye movement towards it, saccade landing positions were compressed in a similar fashion as perceptual judgments, confirming the robustness of mask-induced compression. Our findings challenge pure oculomotor accounts of saccadic compression of space that assume a vital role for saccade-specific signals such as corollary discharge or the updating of eye position. Instead, we suggest that saccade- and mask-induced compression both reflect how the visual system deals with disruptions.
Salient stimulus attracts focus of peri-saccadic mislocalization
2014, Vision Research
Visual localization during saccadic eye movements is prone to error. Flashes shortly before and after the onset of saccades are usually perceived to shift towards the saccade target, creating a “compression” pattern. Typically, the saccade landing point coincides with a salient saccade target. We investigated whether the mislocalization focus follows the actual saccade landing point or a salient stimulus. Subjects made saccades to either a target or a memorized location without target. In some conditions, another salient marker was presented between the initial fixation and the saccade landing point. The experiments were conducted on both black and picture backgrounds. The results show that: (a) when a saccade target or a marker (spatially separated from the saccade landing point) was present, the compression pattern of mislocalization was significantly stronger than in conditions without them, for both black and picture background conditions, and (b) the mislocalization focus tended towards the salient stimulus regardless of whether it was the saccade target or the marker. Our results suggest that a salient stimulus presented in the scene may have an attracting effect and therefore contribute to the non-uniformity of saccadic mislocalization of a probing flash.
Luminance contrast in the background makes flashes harder to detect during saccades
2012, Vision Research
To explore a visual scene we make many fast eye movements (saccades) every second. During those saccades the image of the world shifts rapidly across our retina. These shifts are normally not detected, because perception is suppressed during saccades. In this paper we study the origin of this saccadic suppression by examining the influence of luminance borders in the background on the perception of flashes presented near the time of saccades in a normally illuminated room. We used different types of backgrounds: either with isoluminant red and green areas or with black and white areas. We found that the ability to perceive flashes that were presented during saccades was suppressed when there were luminance borders in the background, but not when there were isoluminant color borders in the background. Thus, masking by moving luminance borders plays an important role in saccadic suppression. The perceived positions of detected flashes were only influenced by the borders between the areas in the background when the flashes were presented before or after the saccades. Moreover, the influence did not depend on the kind of contrast forming the border. Thus, the masking effect of moving luminance borders does not appear to play an important role in the mislocalization of flashes that are presented near the time of saccades.
