Abstract
As mentioned above, two features are characteristic of any saccadic movement of the eyes: (1) an almost perfect identity of the movements of both eyes; and (2) high velocity (the duration of saccades is measured in hundredths of a second). Under normal conditions these features are constantly observed and may be clearly recorded by any suitably sensitive method of studying eye movements.
