Saccadic Suppression of Image Displacement - Tactile Suppression of Displacement

Tactile Suppression of Displacement

Using the device pictured on the right, Ziat et al. (2010) demonstrated a phenomenon akin to the saccadic suppression of image displacement (Bridgeman et al., 1975) in the tactile system. Under certain conditions participants failed to detect that dots had changed location as they moved their fingers over the tactile display.
