“…Intra-saccadic jumps are typically difficult to detect, however, Deubel et al (1996, 1998) showed that blanking the target during the jump made it possible to detect the jump and identify its direction accurately (see also Dassonville, Schlag & Schlag-Rey, 1995). Deubel et al (1998) proposed that under typical circumstances, where details are not blanked during saccades, perceptual stability relies on the implicit assumption made by the visual system that a selected visual reference – typically, the saccadic target – remains stationary during the saccade (see also Lennie & Sidwell, 1978; Matin; Maij, Brenner, Li, Cornelissen & Smeets, 2010; Honda, 1999, 2005, 2006). Other visual details (such as targets flashed during or around the time of saccades) may be seen in illusory locations because their positions are encoded relative to the selected “stationary” reference.…”
