Variability and development of a normative data base for saccadic eye movements.
The duration, peak velocity, and acceleration of the saccadic eye movements of 13 normal subjects are plotted as functions of saccadic magnitude. The apparent peak velocity of a saccadic eye movement is sensitive to the algorithms used to calculate the velocity. The velocity channel filter should have zero phase shift and a cutoff frequency between 60 and 100 Hz in order to limit noise but pass all the signal information. Some subjects fatigue rapidly; their parameters fall outside the normal range of values.
