Autokinetic drifts and gaze deviation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method for evaluating the resting direction of the eyes based on the use of afterimages was developed. With this technique, the effect of gaze deviations relative to the individually determined resting direction was investigated among naive subjects. Moderate gaze deviations have no effect on reports of autokinesis. Only at extreme deviations which approach anatomical limits is the direction of reported autokinetic movement biased in the direction of the deviation. The possible contribution of efferent and afferent mechanisms to autokinesis is discussed.

Fixational Eye Movement Correction of Blink-Induced Gaze Position Errors
Our eyes move continuously. Even when we attempt to fix our gaze, we produce "fixational" eye movements including microsaccades, drift and tremor. The potential role of microsaccades versus drifts in the control of eye position has been debated for decades and remains in question today. Here we set out to determine the corrective functions of microsaccades and drifts on gaze-position errors due...
متن کاملEffect of monocular visual loss upon stability of gaze.
Using the eye-coil/magnetic field method, we measured horizontal and vertical movements of both eyes in four patients with monocular loss of vision while they attempted steady, binocular fixation of a visual target. We also measured gaze stability in two normal subjects while they fixed upon a target monocularly, and in one patient with congenital, bilateral blindness. In the patients with mono...
متن کاملNeurological Basis for Eye Movements of the Blind
When normal subjects fix their eyes upon a stationary target, their gaze is not perfectly still, due to small movements that prevent visual fading. Visual loss is known to cause greater instability of gaze, but reported comparisons with normal subjects using reliable measurement techniques are few. We measured binocular gaze using the magnetic search coil technique during attempted fixation (mo...
متن کاملAdaptive neural mechanism for Listing's law revealed in patients with skew deviation caused by brainstem or cerebellar lesion.
PURPOSE Skew deviation is a vertical strabismus caused by damage to the otolithic-ocular reflex pathway and is associated with abnormal ocular torsion. This study was conducted to determine whether patients with skew deviation show the normal pattern of three-dimensional eye control called Listing's law, which specifies the eye's torsional angle as a function of its horizontal and vertical posi...
متن کاملAutokinetic illusion: a systematic review of theories, measures, and independent variables.
This review attempts to show that in studies of the autokinetic illusion, if the interdependence of theories and measurement methods is considered first, a systematic account becomes possible. It recommends measures based on direction reports because they describe a theoretically significant, unambiguous, immediately apparent aspect of the apparent movement. Two new techniques based on this ana...
