title: Saccadic velocity characteristics: intrinsic variability and fatigue.
abstract: Saccadic eye movements exhibit a characteristic peak velocity vs. amplitude relationship. As with all quantifications of biological function, there exists and associated intra- and intersubject variability of this relationship. This paper documents this variability and demonstrates both the absence of a predictable short-term "muscle fatigue" effect and the presence of a generalized "mental fatigue" (i.e. tiredness) effect.
