Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Microsaccades are small, rapid, involuntary eye movements which are known to occur during fixation. Recent studies demonstrated that auditory attentional cues could induce microsaccadic inhibition, a transient drop of microsaccade rate. In this study, we computed two novel parameters of microsaccades, damping factor and natural frequency, by considering the response curve of a microsaccade as the step response of a second-order transfer function. By using an auditory oddball paradigm, we found that the damping factor of microsaccade, which is an indicator of the accuracy in positioning-control, temporarily decreases with the presentation of salient sounds. This result indicates that the bottom-up attention, caused by salient sounds, could affect the positioning-control of the oculomotor system.
