The pupil reflects motor preparation for saccades - even before the eye starts to move

The pupil reflects motor preparation for saccades - even before the eye starts to move

The eye produces saccadic eye movements which show the shortest reaction times in humans. Saccade latencies reflect ongoing cortical processing and, generally, shorter latencies are supposed to reflect advanced motor preparation. The dilation of the eye’s pupil is reported to reflect cortical proces...
