Conjugate and disjunctive optokinetic eye movements in the rabbit, evoked by rotatory and translatory motion

Horizontal movements of both eyes of rabbits were recorded simultaneously, using a scleral search coil system. Several types of motion of the environment were produced: a) a circular striped drum rotating around the animal (‘true rotation’), b) flat striped patterns moving in parasagittal planes, one forward, the other backward (‘pseudorotation’), c) flat patterns moving both either backward or forward (‘tunnelmotion’).
