retinal painting

Everyone knows this nice party trick – try to observe your own rapid eye movements (so-called saccades) in the mirror and realize that you will not be able to. Despite this striking example, we are not blind during saccades. This paper features a demonstration (as well as schematics and code to built it yourself) that is capable of producing highly salient, nicely resolvable stimuli which can only be perceived during saccades!
