Successful suppression of reflexive saccades is dependent on prestimulus neural processes in the superior colliculus.
Everling et al. (1998) studied Reflex suppression. Prestimulus neural activity in the superior colliculus was evaluated on Correct response or error (reflexive saccade). High levels of prestimulus activity in superior colliculus buildup neurons were highly predictive of generating an erroneous reflexive saccade during an anti-saccade task.
