Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) It is known that eye movements and visual perception are processed in separate neural pathways. One might expect that a target, made invisible due to backward masking, could still cause a saccadic eye movement. To verify this expectation, we measured a saccade latency in a backward masking situation. The results showed that a saccade latency when subjects could not detect the target due to the mask was shorter than that for the mask only, supporting the expectation. Furthermore, a saccade latency when subjects could detect the target was shorter than that when the target only was presented. It appears that the mask enhanced the eye movement signal of the target while it disturbed to detect the target.
