Summary

Summary

The locations of stationary objects appear invariant, although saccadic eye movements shift the images of physically stationary objects on the retina. Two features of this perceptual stability related to saccades are that postsaccadic locations of objects appear invariant relative to their appearance in the presaccadic view, and perception of postsaccadic stimulation is free from interference by remnants of presaccadic stimulation. To generate stability, quantitatively accurate cancellation between retinal input (RI) and extraretinal eye position information (EEPI) must occur, and persisting influences from the presaccadic view must be eliminated. We describe experiments with briefly flashed visual stimuli that have measured (1) the time course of perisaccadic spatial localization, (2) the interfering effects of persisting stimulation prior to the postsaccadic period, (3) the achievement of perceptual stability by removing visual persistence early, and (4) the influence of metacontrast utilizing the normal perisaccadic spatiotemporal distribution of retinal input to prevent interference from visual persistence.

For the steady eye, a generalized cancellation mechanism is analyzed through studying mislocalizations in perceptual orientation and visually guided manual behavior produced by (1) modifying EEPI in observers with experimental partial paralysis (curare) of the extraocular muscles and/or (2) modifying RI by varying visual field orientation (i.e., its pitch and/or roll). The influences of visual pitch and roll derive from the retinal orientations of individual straight lines and their combinations, with the identical lines influencing perceived verticality and elevation.
