Abstract:
:We have investigated the effects of mental set on predictive capabilities using a saccade square-wave tracking paradigm with ten normal subjects, comparing three amplitudes (10, 20, and 40 degrees ) and five inter-stimulus intervals (ISIs) (400, 500, 625, 1000, and 2000 ms). Subjects were instructed simply to "follow the lights" (passive, reflexive instruction) or explicitly "move your eyes in time with the lights" (active, volitional instruction). Saccades were defined as reflexive (latency>100 ms), predictive (-200 ms journal_name journal_title authors doi keywords: subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn journal_volume pub_type
