Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Proprioceptive eye position signals aid saccadic adaptation by providing motor error information. This feedback, alongside visual cues, refines eye movement accuracy and spatial representation.

Background:

Saccadic adaptation maintains eye movement accuracy.
Previous research emphasized visual feedback for saccadic adaptation.
The role of proprioceptive feedback in saccadic adaptation is less understood.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate if proprioceptive eye position signals are used to estimate saccade accuracy.
To determine if proprioceptive feedback drives saccadic adaptation.
To compare the influence of visual and proprioceptive feedback on saccadic adaptation.

Main Methods:

Participants performed saccadic eye movements with manipulated visual and proprioceptive feedback availability.
Fast return saccades were used to limit proprioceptive signal usability.
Adaptation development was measured across five experimental conditions.

Main Results:

Saccadic adaptation was significantly weaker when visual feedback was unavailable and proprioceptive feedback was impaired.
Impaired proprioceptive eye position information reduced adaptation development.
This suggests proprioceptive feedback contributes to saccadic adaptation.

Conclusions:

Proprioceptive eye position feedback is utilized to estimate motor error after saccades.
This proprioceptive signal contributes to saccadic adaptation, complementing visual feedback.
Multimodal feedback (visual and proprioceptive) likely enhances the robustness of saccade control and spatial representation.
