    Binocular micromovements during fixation exhibit complex saccadic formations and incongruous eye movements. These eye movements originate from a central generating process, not retinal error signals.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Binocular micromovements are crucial for maintaining clear vision during fixation.
    • Previous research has explored the characteristics of saccades and drifts, but their central generation remains debated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics of binocular micromovements during physiological viewing conditions.
    • To determine the origin of these micromovements, differentiating between central and retinal error signal sources.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of binocular micromovements in normal subjects under physiological viewing conditions.
    • Examination of saccadic formations, including vertical and horizontal components, and their overshoot.
    • Comparison of micromovement characteristics between the right and left eyes.

    Main Results:

    • Micromovements displayed multiple saccadic formations with significant overshoot in both vertical and horizontal components.
    • Considerable incongruity was observed between the right and left eye micromovements, despite synchronized saccades and drifts.
    • Amplitude/velocity relationships of saccadic components correlated well with voluntary large saccades.
    • Saccade characteristics (formation, frequency, direction) showed intra-individual consistency, independent of viewing conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Binocular micromovements during fixation are primarily generated by a central neural process.
    • Retinal error signals are not the main drivers of these fixation micromovements.
