Figure 1


Fig. 1. Experimental design. (A) Fly orientation was determined at 564 Hz by a near-IR camera and custom software, which was used to modify the visual stimulation presented on a 32x64 cylindrical array of LEDs. N, magnetic north; S, south. (B) Flies were glued to a steel pin, which was placed in a magnetic field such that they could rotate only about their functional yaw axis. (C) Manipulation of visual feedback during saccades. When the realtime software detected the initiation of a saccade, the striped visual stimulus was rotated by 40° in 80 ms (gray box). The blue trace shows the fly's observed orientation; the green trace shows the angular position of the striped pattern. (D) Post hoc calculation of saccade dynamics. Saccade duration was the time during which the fly's angular velocity exceeded one-quarter of its maximum value during the saccade. Saccade amplitude was the difference between the median of the orientation measurements taken in the 50 ms immediately before and after the saccade.
