Saccades guided by somatosensory stimuli
The accuracy of somatosensory saccades defined by proprioceptive cues with and without an additional tactile stimulus was investigated over a wide range of stimulus amplitudes in 16 normal subjects. The present results confirm that somatosensory saccades are less accurate and more variable than visual saccades. Accuracy was minimal for saccades directed to hand distances of 40-50 deg and increa...
متن کاملP300 generation by novel somatosensory stimuli.
Event-related potentials (ERPs) to task-relevant target and task-irrelevant novel stimuli were recorded in a somatosensory discrimination task. Subjects pressed a button to mechanical taps of the fifth finger (targets, P = 0.12), randomly interposed in sequences of taps to the second finger (standards, P = 0.76). Two types of infrequent novel stimuli were delivered; one was a mechanical tap to ...
متن کاملSaccades to somatosensory targets. I. behavioral characteristics.
1. We compared the properties of saccades to somatosensory and visual targets. This comparison provides insight into the translation of sensory signals coding target location in different sensory coordinate frameworks into motor commands of a common format. Vibrotactile stimuli were delivered to the hands, which were fixed in position and concealed beneath a barrier. Saccades of different direc...
متن کاملSaccadic eye movements towards stimuli triggered by prior saccades.
The beginning of a saccade triggers a step in target position. and then the target is estinguished I-300 msec later. A primary saccade follows with normal accuracy. and approximately normal latency. A corrective saccade to the invisible target is possible if the target is lit during the early part of the prior primary saccade. Clearly, important visual stimulation can occur during saccades. and...
متن کاملBlinks slow memory-guided saccades.
Memory-guided saccades are slower than visually guided saccades. The usual explanation for this slowing is that the absence of a visual drive reduces the discharge of neurons in the superior colliculus. We tested a related hypothesis: that the slowing of memory-guided saccades was due also to the more frequent occurrence of gaze-evoked blinks with memory-guided saccades compared with visually g...
