TL;DR
An experiment is described where gross saccadic eye movements across a particular stimulus generate saccade-linked evoked responses whose amplitudes reflect the on vs off, left vs right, and size-of-eye-movement qualities of their particular eye movements.
Abstract
A model of visual perception is outlined in which the sudden shifts of the retina caused by saccadic (jumping) eye movements generate discrete, discontinuous packages or units of information which are transmitted to the cortex as evoked responses. An experiment is described where gross saccadic eye movements across a particular stimulus generate saccade-linked evoked responses whose amplitudes reflect the on vs off, left vs right, and size-of-eye-movement qualities of their particular eye movements. The results are consistent with the idea that evoked responses carry information. Some further implications of the model are discussed.

Two neural mechanisms are described which exhibit recognition of forms which are independent of small perturbations at synapses of excitation, threshold, and synchrony, and are referred to partiular appropriate regions of the nervous system, thus suggesting experimental verification.

788 Citations1961David H. Hubel, T. N. Wiesel
Receptive fields of geniculate receptive fields resembled those of retinal ganglion cells, having an excitatory ('on') centre and inhibitory preriphery, or reverse, and cells with receptive fields within or near the area centralis tended to have smaller field centres and stronger suppression by the receptive field periphery than cells with their fields situated in more peripheral regions of the retina.

A system has been devised for causing an image to remain at one point on the retina regardless of eye movements, and when first presented, the finest lines are seen with normal or slightly better than normal acuity.

The movements of the retinal image have the effect of moving the boundary between two regions of differing brightness across theretinal pattern of receptors and may therefore play an important part in vision.

The results of the three most recent investigations give the following results: Ratliff & Riggs (1950) find an irregular movement of high frequency and small extent, while Lord & Wright (1948) and Lord (1951) find movements of type (2).
Experimental NeurologySaccadic suppression: Elevation of visual threshold associated with saccadic eye movements
358 Citations1966B.L. Zuber, Laura Stark
An elevation of visual threshold has been found to be associated with voluntary saccadic eye movements and with the involuntary microsaccades present during steady fixation, as well as with the involutional fast phase of vestibular nystagmus.

The maximum velocities of microsaccades (flicks) are an increasing function of amplitude of movement, and all these movements are produced by a common physiological system, or the characteristics of the movements are determined by a single dynamically limiting element.
