0 a quick movement of the eye that results in it looking in a different direction :
Her eyeballs showed continuous, involuntary, random saccades in all directions.
The saccade is probably the most rapid somatic movement that any muscle system in the body can produce.
Saccades are measured by their amplitude and can vary in length.
The saccade is the movement that occurs when the eye is looking for a new point of fixation.
He had full extraocular muscle function when tracking movement, and saccades to targets within his intact field were normal.
This is true even when the target object in fact moves during the saccade.
It is the relative strength of activity that determines the probability of selecting the next saccade target.
They further make the interesting proposal that cognitive events only inhibit saccades, not trigger them.
Subjects' data are ordered as a function of number of saccades.
Oculomotor programming is influenced by the information in the word that is the target of the next saccade.
