A graphic three-step test.

Abstract

A graphic technique is used to analyze cyclovertical muscle palsies. This technique is similar to that presented in the Ophthalmology Basic and Clinical Science Course, but has the following advantages: only one diagram is required to apply the method, and knowledge of the actions of the cyclovertical muscles, when analyzing the Bielschowsky head tilt test, is not required.

Neural adaptation of imaginary visual motion.

Observers made time-to-contact judgements about an imagined moving object that passed through an area of the visual field previously adapted to a single direction of real motion. The direction of imagined motion varied relative to the direction of adapting motion. When imagined motion was in the same direction as that experienced during adaptation, imagined speed was slowed; when imagined motion was in the opposite direction, its speed was increased; when adaptation and imagined motions were orthogonal, imagined speed was unaffected. The particular influence that prior adaptation has on imagined speed suggests that imagined motion and real vision may engage common neural mechanisms without being functionally equivalent. Negative aftereffects observed in imagined motion imply that the imagination represents movement as an inference from position changes of static images.

On the role of extraretinal signals for saccade generation.

We investigated the accuracy of sequential saccadic eye movements, executed without visual feed-back. We found evidence that the final error of one saccade is corrected during the next, which supports the existence of extraretinal inputs to the saccadic generator. The corrections, however, were incomplete, which suggests that extraretinal signals are only partially effective.
