418 VAN GISBERGEN, ROBINSON, AND GIELEN neurons could be driven by a motor error signal, which is the difference between instantaneous eye position, obtained by monitoring an efferent signal, and desired eye position in the orbit, specified by higher visual or cognitive centers. Burst neuron discharge rate was plotted against the difference between instantaneous and final eye position during a saccade, suitably corrected for the time shift of the final common path. In 89% of the horizontally acting burst neurons examined, the relationship followed a common trajectory for saccades of all sizes in the on-and off-direction. For these cells, burst discharge rate may indeed be uniquely specified by motor error. It was shown that a specific model embodying this hypothesis, which is able to account for many other features of saccades, could also account for dynamic overshoot and microsaccadic oscillations (see APPENDIX).
