Saccades adapt to visual and auditory stepping targets and display an asymmetrical pattern of cross-modal transfer

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, we showed that both backward and forward adaptations of visual reactive saccades transfer to nonadapted auditory saccades. Furthermore, we were able to induce a decrease in auditory saccades amplitude when stepping the target sound backward while the saccade was inflight. This indicates that auditory saccades can be subject to adaptive amplitude changes, which, however, are transferred only partially to visual saccades, pointing to the presence of modality-specific adaptation sites.
