Eye movements of African chameleons: spontaneous saccade timing

Science. 1978 Mar 10;199(4333):1087-9. doi: 10.1126/science.628832.

Abstract

Despite asynchrony, saccades of left and right eyes of African chameleons had similar timing statistics. Prominent qualitative aspects of these statistics did not change if one or both eyes were masked. Evidently, an internal stochastic process regulated chameleon saccade generation.
