The effects of retinal target location on suppression of the vestibulo-ocular reflex

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Experiments on human subjects exposed to angular oscillation whilst viewing a head-fixed display have indicated that the degree of suppression of the vestibulo-ocular reflex is dependent upon the peripheral location of the visual target. Suppression is greatest when fixating a central target and decreases in a graded manner for targets placed more peripherally. During central fixation a low-velocity nystagmus is still evident and there is no indication of any complete cancellation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex. © 1983 Springer-Verlag.
