Abstract

Errors that we make when localizing targets that are flashed just before, during, or after we make a rapid eye movement (saccade) are usually interpreted in terms of imperfections in the mechanisms that adjust our judgments of positions in the outside world when eye movements change our direction of gaze. We propose to examine the extent to which the limited temporal resolution of the (human) visual system can explain such errors. In doing so we will consider both systematic and variable errors in judgments of timing, and contributions of planning the eye movements, of extra-retinal signals, and of combining asynchronous retinal stimulation.
