What is The Maintenance of Spatial Accuracy by the Perisaccadic Remapping of Visual Receptive Fields about?

Humans and monkeys can direct their eyes to the spatial location of briefly flashed targets even when a saccade intervenes between the stimulus flash and the saccade to acquire its location. It had been proposed that the oculomotor system performs this task by resorting to a supraretinal representation of space. In this paper we review neurophysiological and clinical data suggesting that the brain can use a different strategy that does not require an explicit supraretinal representation of targets. We propose and implement a simple neural model that can keep track continuously of the location of saccade targets in eye-centered coordinates. Finally, based on recent data, we argue that such a neural mechanism is in fact used to keep track not only of saccade targets but of the location of salient areas of the visual scene in general.
