Intervening saccades (eye movements) impact manual target interception. Errors suggest target information is updated in gaze-centered coordinates but also influenced by initial gaze direction, indicating unique transformations for interception.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Motor Control
  • Human Factors

Background:

  • Previous research indicates reach goals are updated across saccades in gaze-centered coordinates.
  • The generalization of this coding to dynamic interception tasks remains unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how intervening saccades affect manual interception of a moving target.
  • To determine if target representations are updated in gaze-centered coordinates during interception across saccades.

Main Methods:

  • Nine subjects performed manual interceptions of a moving target that disappeared before reaching.
  • Trials involved either continuous fixation or a saccade to a new fixation point before reaching.
  • Control experiments used stationary targets to compare with interception data.

Main Results:

  • Interception errors were influenced by the target's remembered position relative to the new eye position, consistent with gaze-centered coding.
  • However, errors also varied with the target's direction relative to the initial gaze direction for over half of the subjects.
  • This suggests a combination of gaze-centered target motion representation biases and body-centered coordinate transformation issues.

Conclusions:

  • Manual interception across saccades involves gaze-centered updating of target information, similar to stationary targets.
  • However, the feedforward transformations for interception appear distinct from those for stationary targets.
  • Interception errors arise from combined biases in representing target motion and transforming goal information for action.
