Horizontal and vertical OKN and OKAN were recorded in four conditions using the EOG technique. Instructions to subjects were aimed at obtaining a "look" type OKN. Two optokinetic stimulators, a stationary sphere and a binocular portable model, were compared with the subject in the upright condition.

Rebound nystagmus (RN) is an involuntary movement of the eyes, characterized by slow-phase eye velocity in the direction of previously maintained eccentric gaze. The purpose of this study was to clarify the neural or neuromuscular events that are responsible for the generation of RN. To do so, we ex
In four normal human subjects we measured eye movements during full-field optokinetic stimulation (10-220 deg/s) and determined the relationship among retinal-slip velocity (drum velocity minus slow-phase eye velocity), the slow-phase velocity of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) and the initial value of
1. Parameters of the optokinetic after-nystagmus (OKAN) outlasting optokinetic stimulation were studied in monkeys. With constant pattern velocity (60 degrees/s) exposure times were varied between 2 s and 15 min. 2. All monkeys showed a primary after-nystagmus moving in the same direction (OKAN I) a
Optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) continues after the cessation of visual stimulation in complete darkness as primary optokinetic after-nystagmus (OKAN I). After variable periods of time, it is followed by secondary OKAN (OKAN II). Short periods of visual fixation during OKAN I in monkey and in man inhibi
We measured torsional vestibular and optokinetic eye movements in human subjects with the head and trunk erect, with the head supine and the trunk erect, and with the head and trunk supine, in order to quantify the effects of otolithic and proprioceptive modulation. During active head movements, the
