TL;DR
It is found that anti-saccades and saccades to remembered targets have strongly reduced peak velocities, and these saccade typically have very skewed velocity profiles, and the reconstructed neural control signals, held responsible for the generation of these sAccades, are quite abnormal.

Computer ScienceNeuroscience
Mathematical BiosciencesThe main sequence, a tool for studying human eye movements
1,299 Citations1975A. Terry Bahill, Michael R. Clark +1 more
Infrared photodiodes aimed at the iris-sclera border and a digital computer were used in experiments to derive the main sequence curves, which determine saccadic amplitude and peak velocity in the pulse width modulation model.
Experimental Brain ResearchFrontal lobe lesions in man cause difficulties in suppressing reflexive glances and in generating goal-directed saccades
1,013 Citations1985Daniel Guitton, Henry A. Buchtel +1 more
The results support the view that the frontal lobes, particularly the dorsolateral region which contains the FEF and possibly the supplementary motor area contribute to the generation of complex saccadic eye-movement behaviour and in triggering the appropriate volitional movements when the goal for the movement is known but not yet visible.
Journal of NeurophysiologyModification of saccadic eye movements by GABA-related substances. I. Effect of muscimol and bicuculline in monkey superior colliculus
692 Citations1985Okihide Hikosaka, R. H. Wurtz
This hypothesis that cells in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) tonically inhibit saccade-related Cells in the intermediate layers of the superior colliculus (SC) is tested by injecting a GABA agonist (muscimol) or a GABA antagonist (bicuculline) into the superiorColliculus and measured the effects on saccadic eye movements made to visual or remembered targets.
NeurologyQuantitative measurement of saccade amplitude, duration, and velocity
532 Citations1975Robert W. Baloh, Andrew W. Sills +2 more
A method for rapid, accurate measurement of saccade amplitude, duration, and velocity (average and maximum) was developed as a functional test of the extraocular motor system, and the two constants of this equation adequately characterized the relationship between saccades amplitude and velocity and permitted rapid statistical comparison between normal and abnormal subjects.
Vision ResearchFurther properties of the human saccadic system: Eye movements and correction saccades with and without visual fixation points
489 Citations1969Wolfgang Becker, Albert F. Fuchs
The execution of normal saccadic eye movements was found to depend upon clearly visible fixation points, and experiments suggest that for large angles, the eye movement response is preprogrammed as two movements and that the second saccade in the package is determined by a position error sample of 70 msec.
Journal of NeurophysiologyModification of saccadic eye movements by GABA-related substances. II. Effects of muscimol in monkey substantia nigra pars reticulata
475 Citations1985Okihide Hikosaka, R. H. Wurtz
It is concluded that a substantial fraction of GABA-mediated inhibitory inputs in the SC originates from the substantia nigra pars reticulata, which exerts a tonic inhibition on saccade-related cells in SC and that this inhibition is mediated by GABA.
Biological CyberneticsNatural and drug-induced variations of velocity and duration of human saccadic eye movements: Evidence for a control of the neural pulse generator by local feedback
465 Citations1981R. Jürgens, Wolfgang Becker +1 more
The relation between the accuracy of saccades aimed at a given target and their velocity and duration was examined and results favour the hypothesis that saccadic innervation is controlled by a local feedback loop.
Vision ResearchThe predictability of saccadic latency in a novel voluntary oculomotor task
295 Citations1980Peter Hallett, Beth Adams
A simple model is applied to the “anti” task, the Wheeless 2-step task and forewarning, which shows great flexibility in its choice of goal, but is rather stereotyped in timing.
Experimental Brain ResearchSaccadic responses evoked by presentation of visual and auditory targets
261 Citations1982Daniela Zambarbieri, R. Schmid +2 more
The longer latency and the higher percentage of multiple saccade responses in the auditory case were attributed to a more complex central processing, whereas the longer duration and the lower peak velocity of the saccades to auditory targets were attribut to reduced performances of the execution mechanism in the absence of vision.
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical EngineeringThe Double Magnetic Induction Method for Measuring Eye Movement - Results in Monkey and Man
117 Citations1984Lo J. Bour, J.A.M. Van Gisbergen +2 more
An improved version of the double magnetic induction method for measuring eye movement, proposed by Reulen and Bakker, is described, which obtains a signal related to eye position from a detection coil placed in front of the eye, without the need of connecting wires.
Vision ResearchReconstruction of neural control signals for saccades based on an inverse method
46 Citations1985A. John Van Opstal, J.A.M. Van Gisbergen +1 more
It is concluded that it is not necessary to use a complicated model in order to obtain realistic saccade velocity profiles and that a second order linear plant model necessitates active braking at the input to explain the occurrence of short-lasting saccades.
Advances in psychologyParametrization of Saccadic Velocity Profiles in Man
17 Citations1984J.A.M. Van Gisbergen, A. John Van Opstal +1 more
In order to characterize their shape objectively, saccadic velocity profiles were fit with a so-called gamma function whose parameter γ is a direct measure for the degree of asymmetry (skewness); it was found that there is a tight relation between saccade duration and skewness.
