We investigated for the first time how temporal information on very brief timescales is represented in area V4 around the time of saccadic eye movements. Overall, the responses showed an unexpectedly precise representation of time intervals. Our finding of a perisaccadic modulation of relative response amplitudes introduces a new possible correlate of saccade-related perceptual distortions of time.
