Fig. 6. Histograms describing saccade behavior within uniform (A) and textured (B) backgrounds. The time interval between saccades and the distance covered between successive saccades are reduced within a textured background. Removal of the textured background, however, does not affect saccade amplitude. Saccades do, however, occur farther from the center of the arena within a uniform background (see also Fig. 4C). The uniform background data come from 58 trajectories containing 1080 saccades, the textured background data come from 36 trajectories containing 1579 saccades.
