“…The implication that the brain expends computational energy with each eye movement to predictively remap a (spatially incorrect) retinal perception is seemingly paradoxical; after all, in theory the brain has access to all the self-motion signals required to compensate for retinal blurring and/or retino-spatial misalignments. However, compensating for self-motion requires either updating of a nonspatial (e.g., retinal) representation (Henriques, Klier, Smith, Lowy, & Crawford, 1998;Medendorp, Van Asselt, & Gielen, 1999;Murdison et al, 2013) or subjecting sensory signals to reference frame transformations (Blohm & Crawford, 2007;Blohm & Lefèvre, 2010;Murdison et al, 2015) to achieve spatial accuracy. As both updating (Medendorp et al, 1999) and reference frame transformations appear to be stochastic processes (Alikhanian, Carvalho, & Blohm, 2015;Burns & Blohm, 2010;Burns, Nashed, & Blohm, 2011;Schlicht & Schrater, 2007;Sober & Sabes, 2003), eye-centered signals might provide high acuity sensory information on which to base working memory (Golomb, Chun, & Mazer, 2008), perception (Burns et al, 2011;Rolfs et al, 2011) and movement generation (Schlicht & Schrater, 2007;Sober & Sabes, 2003) explicitly requiring a reference frame transformation.…”
