The peri-saccadic perception of space, time, and object f...
Saccades are fast, ballistic eye movements. Irrespective of the substantial differences between pre- and post-saccadic retinal images, visual perception across saccades appears as being continuous and stable. Active, compensational mechanisms are necessary to construct this spatial and temporal stability. Under laboratory conditions the limits of these compensatory mechanisms are unveiled. In the temporal vicinity of saccades, characteristic misperceptions can be ...
