| Description |
Macrosaccadic oscillations usually consist of horizontal saccades that occur in bursts, initially building up and then decreasing in amplitude, with intersaccadic intervals of about 200 milliseconds. Described originally in cerebellar patients, macrosaccadic oscillations are thought to be an extreme form of saccadic dysmetria, in which the patients saccades are so hypermetric that they overshoot the target continuously in both directions and thus oscillate around the fixation point. |
