Synchronized high-frequency gamma band oscillations (30-100Hz) are thought to mediate the binding of single visual features into whole-object representations. Forexample, induced gamma band oscillations (iGBR) have been recorded ∼280ms after the onset of a coherent Kanizsa Triangle, but not after an incoherent equivalent shape. However, several recent studies have provided evidence that the EEG-recorded iGBR may be a by-product of small saccadic eye movements (microsaccades). Considering these two previous findings, one would hypothesis that there should be more microsaccades following the onset of a coherent Kanizsa triangle. However, we found that microsaccade rebound rate significantly higher after an incoherent triangle...
