The frontal eye field as a prediction map.

abstract：:Saccadic oscillations are unwanted back-to-back saccades occurring one upon the other that produce a high-frequency oscillation of the eyes (usually 15-30 Hz). These may occur transiently in normal subjects, for example, around the orthogonal axis of a purely horizontal or vertical saccade, during combined saccade-ver...
