Abstract：
:In order to further our understanding of action-blindsight, four hemianopic patients suffering from visual field loss contralateral to a unilateral occipital lesion were compared to six healthy controls during a double task of verbally reported target detection and saccadic responses toward the target. Three oculomotor tasks were used: a fixation task (i.e., without saccade) and two saccade tasks (eliciting reflexive and voluntary saccades, using step and overlap 600 ms paradigms, respectively), in separate sessions. The visual target was briefly presented at two different eccentricities (5° and 8°), in the right or left visual hemifield. Blank trials were interleaved with target trials, and signal detection theory was applied. Despite their hemifield defect, hemianopic patients retained the ability to direct a saccade toward their contralesional hemifield, whereas verbal detection reports were at chance level. However, saccade parameters (latency and amplitude) were altered by the defect. Saccades to the contralesional hemifield exhibited longer latencies and shorter amplitudes compared to those of the healthy group, whereas only the latencies of reflexive saccades to the ipsilesional hemifield were altered. Furthermore, healthy participants showed the expected latency difference between reflexive and voluntary saccades, with the latter longer than the former. This difference was not found in three out of four patients in either hemifield. Our results show action-blindsight for saccades, but also show that unilateral occipital lesions have effects on saccade generation in both visual hemifields.
