Selective modulation of visual sensitivity during fixation

During periods of steady fixation, we make small amplitude ocular movements, termed microsaccades, at a rate of 1-2 every second. Early studies provided evidence that visual sensitivity is reduced during microsaccades - akin to the well-established suppression associated with larger saccades. Howeve...
