Abstract

How visual space is represented in the brain is an open question in neuroscience. Embodiment theories propose that spatial perception is structured by neural motor maps. Especially, maps which code the targets for saccadic eye movements contain a precise representation of external space. In this review article, we examine how modifications in saccade maps are accompanied by changes in visual space perception. Saccade adaptation, a method which systematically modifies saccade amplitudes, alters the localization of visual objects in space. We illustrate how information about saccade amplitudes is transferred from the cerebellum (CB) to the frontal eye field (FEF). We argue that changes in visual localization after adaptation of saccade maps provide evidence for a shared representation of visual and motor space.

  • The record of gaze shifts may provide the oculomotor maps on which these 3D abilities depend.

    “where it may be the record of gaze shifts that provides the oculomotor maps on which these abilities depend (Hannula et al., 2010; Zimmerman and Lappe, 2016; Ryan and Shen, 2020; Wolff and Lappe, 2021).”

    The Introduction and Summary argue that saccade motor maps help structure perceived visual space. They do not say that a record of past gaze shifts provides those maps, or establish that specifically 3D abilities depend on them. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
