Binocular coordination of eye movements--Hering's Law of equal innervation or uniocular control?
The neurophysiological basis for binocular control of eye movements in primates has been characterized by a scientific controversy that has its origin in the historical conflict of Hering and Helmholtz in the 19th century. This review focuses on two hypotheses, linked to that conflict, that seek to account for binocular coordination - Hering's Law vs. uniocular control of each eye. In an effort...
متن کاملBinocular coordination of eye movements during reading
Binocular coordination of the eyes during reading was examined. Fixation disparity greater than one character occurred on 47% of fixations, with the disparity being predominantly uncrossed (39%), though a small proportion of fixations were crossed. The average magnitude of disparity, measured at the end of fixation, was 1.1 characters for all fixations. For the 47% of non-aligned fixations the ...
متن کاملAn alternative three-dimensional interpretation of Hering's equal-innervation law for version and vergence eye movements
In the context of Hering's equal-innervation law, this paper discusses the problem of how the three-dimensional positions of the two eyes, each expressed by a rotation vector, can be separated into contributions of the version and vergence system. As proposed by Van Rijn and Van den Berg [(1993) Vision Research, 33, 691-708], this can be done by taking the sum and difference of the position rot...
متن کاملThe coordination of binocular eye movements: Vertical and torsional alignment
Precise binocular alignment of the visual axes is of utmost importance for good vision. The fact that so few of us ever experience diplopia is evidence of how well the oculomotor system performs this function in the face of changes due to development, disease and injury. The capacity of the oculomotor system to adapt to visual stimuli that mimic alignment deficits has been extensively explored ...
متن کاملDirection of heading and vestibular control of binocular eye movements
To optimize visual fixation on near targets against translational disturbances, the eyes must move in compliance with geometrical constraints that are related to the distance as well as the speed and direction relative to the target. It is often assumed that the oculomotor system uses the vestibular signals during such movements mainly to stabilize the foveal image irrespective of the periphera...
