title: Co-variability of smooth and saccadic latencies in oculomotor pursuit.
abstract: Latencies of smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movement responses to a horizontal ramp target show considerable random variation from trial to trial, which is uncorrelated between the two types of response. This implies that the functional pathways that are responsible for most of the delay in each case are essentially independent.
