  • For controls, we report the mean and the standard deviation (SD) values, the normal range computed as the mean ± 2 SD, and the observed range. Abnormal values are reported in bold. G=mean gain, where gain is the ratio of first saccade amplitude to target displacement. Final gain is the ratio of the amplitude of all saccades made during auditory target presentation to target displacement. Right=rightward saccades; left=leftward saccades; visual=visual saccade task; auditory=auditory saccade task; asymmetry=the difference between leftward and rightward saccade values of a given variable divided by the mean of these values; vis-aud=the difference between visual and auditory values.
