The impact of microsaccades on vision: towards a unified theory of saccadic function

S Martinez-Conde, J Otero-Millan… - Nature Reviews …, 2013 - nature.com
When we attempt to fix our gaze, our eyes nevertheless produce so-called'fixational eye
movements', which include microsaccades, drift and tremor. Fixational eye movements …
