Abstract: Visual onsets dramatically reduce saccade generation likelihood with very short latencies. Such latencies suggest that stimulus-induced visual responses, normally jump-starting perceptual and scene analysis processes, can also directly impact the decision of whether to generate saccades or not, causing saccadic inhibition. Consistent with this, we found that changing the appearance of the visual onsets systematically alters the properties of saccadic inhibition. These results constrain neurally inspired models of coordination between saccade generation and exogenous sensory stimulation.
