| Comments | P.1407 right column bottom paragraph: "Eyeblinks, like saccades, produce momentary interruptions of vision at least every few seconds. Moreover, while a typical mid-sized saccade lasts only about 50msec, the time during which the pupil is occluded and vision thereby interrupted during a normal blink is 100-150 msec. Yet we are seldom aware of this blackout due to blinks. This observation has led to several investigations of visual suppression during eyeblinks." See BNID 100706 |
