Derived from a French word for twitch, saccade is a typical occurence in visual perception — the eyes fixing on one point after another in the visual field. Humans and other animals do not look at a scene in a steady way. Instead, the eyes move around, locating interesting parts of the scene and building up a mental 'map' corresponding to the scene.
