Differential saccade-pursuit coordination under sleep loss and low-dose alcohol
Abstract
Ocular tracking of a moving object requires tight coordination between smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements. Normally, pursuit drives gaze velocity to closely match target velocity, with residual position offsets corrected by catch-up saccades. However, how/if common stressors affect this coordination is largely unknown. This study seeks to elucidate the effects of acute and chronic sleep loss, and low-dose alcohol, on saccade-pursuit coordination, as well as that of caffeine.
