All of these cells were studied with a standard saccade task in which the animal
made saccades from an initial fixation LED to a peripheral target LED which was presented for 500 ms.. The movement field of each neuron was determined by eliciting saccades to targets inside and neighboring the response field («movement field scan»).
The 800 ms intervals were investigated as that is the minimum time for correctly
made saccades as defined by the error window (1,000 ms ± 200 ms).

Vision is an extremely dynamic process — Even when we look at a fixed image, our eyes are
making rapid movements, called «
saccades» to explore the image that is sent to our brain.
Moving your eyes smoothly enough to trace out words is hard because your eyes constantly
make jerky motions known as
saccades, unless you are tracking a moving object.
These rapid eye movements, known as
saccades, were timed in all of the participants to see which of them were capable of
making high numbers of express
saccades — particularly fast responses which begin a tenth of a second after a target appears.
The findings, published in the journal PLoS One, revealed that similar numbers of the British Chinese and mainland Chinese participants
made high numbers express
saccades, with the white British participants
made far fewer.
The rapid eye movements we
make when we shift our attention from one object to another, known as
saccades, are essential to navigating, understanding, and interacting with the world around us.
