“…Saccadic effects have been reported throughout the visual system, including early cortical and thalamic visual areas (Reppas et al, 2002;Sylvester and Rees, 2006;MacEvoy et al, 2008) as well as in areas of the temporal cortex implicated in visual recognition and memory (Sobotka et al, 1997(Sobotka et al, , 2002Purpura et al, 2003;Barlett et al, 2011;Monosov et al, 2011;Jutras et al, 2013). Using anatomically-constrained MEG source estimates to measure patterns of cortical activity with high temporal and spatial resolution, previous evidence suggests that visual and central effects of saccades also alter the dynamics of word-evoked cortical activation (amplitude, time course) at multiple stages of visual word processing (Temereanca et al, 2012). It is not known, however, if central saccadic signals impact higher stages of visual word representation in occipitotemporal and/or temporal cortex above and beyond preceding effects in occipital cortex.…”
