Abstract:
Based on localization error for a single perisaccadic flash, eye position signal is supposed to change more slowly than physical eye position. Nevertheless, a flicker is not perceived as moving in accordance with localization error for a single flash. We carried out two experiments to investigate this problem. Experiment 1 examined how a single flash or a flicker presented before saccade was perceived. The results showed that the flicker was not perceived as moving, although mislocalization for the single flash increases gradually before saccade. Experiment 2 was a vernier test of two stimuli successively flashed before the saccade. The results showed that the point of subjective equality shifted in accordance with the mislocalization for a single perisaccadic flash when the interstimulus interval (ISI) was about 2 s; however, it did not shift when the ISI was 78 ms. Comparison between these results and previous studies suggests that the relation of the locations of successive flashes before saccade is perceived exocentrically when the ISI and stimulus onset asynchrony between flashes was short.
