    Summary

    Antisaccade amplitudes are influenced by the statistical summary representation (SSR) of target locations, indicating that vector inversion, not response suppression, underlies this phenomenon in oculomotor control.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Oculomotor Control
    • Visual Perception

    Background:

    • Antisaccades involve suppressing a reflexive eye movement (prosaccade) and inverting the target's spatial location.
    • Recent studies suggest antisaccade amplitudes reflect a statistical summary representation (SSR) of target eccentricities, similar to perceptual processes.
    • The contribution of response suppression versus vector inversion to this SSR in antisaccades remains unclear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate whether response suppression or vector inversion is responsible for the statistical summary representation (SSR) of target eccentricities in antisaccade control.
    • To determine if the frequency of target presentation influences saccade amplitudes through SSR.
    • To differentiate the mechanisms underlying antisaccades and delayed prosaccades regarding SSR.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants performed pro- and antisaccades with varying target eccentricities (10.5°, 15.5°, 20.5°).
    • Target eccentricity frequency was manipulated across blocks to create a statistical summary representation (SSR).
    • A 'delay prosaccade' task was used to isolate response suppression effects by introducing a 2000 ms delay.

    Main Results:

    • Antisaccades and delay prosaccades exhibited similar reaction times.
    • Delay prosaccade amplitudes were unaffected by the manipulation of target eccentricity frequency.
    • Antisaccade amplitudes were significantly biased towards the most frequent target eccentricity, demonstrating SSR influence.

    Conclusions:

    • Vector inversion, not response suppression, contributes to the mediation of target eccentricities via a statistical summary representation (SSR) in antisaccades.
    • This finding provides evidence that relative visual perception mechanisms support antisaccade control.
    • The study highlights the role of SSR in oculomotor behavior and its link to perceptual processing.
