A three-way rmANOVA for the eye movements from Experiment 1 demonstrated that matching eye movement and stimulus parameters—inducing retinal speeds below ±30 dva/s—led to a statistically highly significant increase in visual sensitivity (d’ = 3.05 ± 0.47) compared to trials with higher retinal velocities (d’ = 1.68 ± 0.40; F (1,8) = 264.24, p < 0.001; Figure 2d ).

Visual sensitivity to intra-saccadic stimulation In Experiment 1 , visual sensitivity was low when no microsaccade was generated (intended: d’ = 0.42 ± 0.30; unintended: d’ = –0.02 ± 0.26) and just failed to reach significance between eye movement types ( t (9) = 2.21, p = 0.054; Figure 2c ).
