Ocular pursuit movements allow moving objects to be tracked with a combination of smooth
movements and saccades. The principal objective is to maintain smooth eye velocity close …

We use saccades several times per second to move the fovea between points of interest and
build an understanding of our visual environment. Recent behavioral experiments show …

Leading neuroscientist Dr. Masao Ito advances a detailed and fascinating view of what the
cerebellum contributes to brain function. The cerebellum has been seen as primarily …

MANY lines of evidence suggest that the cerebellum is involved in motor control1. But what
features of these movements are encoded by cerebellar neurons? For slow-tracking eye …

1. We studied response properties of neurons in the superior temporal sulcus (STS) of
behaving monkeys that discharged during brief, sudden movements of a large-field visual …

Eye and head movements were measured in a group of infants at 2, 3, and 5 months of age
as they were attentively tracking an object moving at 0.2 or 0.4 Hz in sinus or triangular …

The ocular-following responses elicited by brief unexpected movements of the visual scene
were studied in human subjects. Response latencies varied with the type of stimulus and …

Abstract Perrone [(1992) Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 9, 177–194) recently
proposed a template-based model of self-motion estimation which uses direction-and speed …

Ocular following eye movements have provided insights into how the visual system of
humans and monkeys processes motion. Recently, it has been shown that they also reliably …

Microsaccades are small saccades. Neurophysiologically, microsaccades are generated
using similar brainstem mechanisms as larger saccades. This suggests that peri-saccadic …
