  • Title: Disparity vergence eye movements exhibit preprogrammed motor control.
    Author: Semmlow JL, Hung GK, Horng JL, Ciuffreda KJ.
    Journal: Vision Res; 1994 May; 34(10):1335-43. PubMed ID: 8023442.
    Abstract:
    To determine the control strategy used to mediate disparity vergence eye movements, an optical technique was employed which eliminated the visual feedback normally associated with a vergence movement. The resulting "open-loop" vergence responses from four subjects exhibited multiple step-like movements. This finding augments previous demonstrations of multiple-step tracking strategies in vergence eye movements and supports the theory that the initial portion of the vergence response is under preprogrammed control. Additional evidence for preprogramming is given by the similarity of the initial dynamics between open- and closed-loop responses as evidenced by similar ratios of peak velocity to amplitude (i.e. "main sequence" plots).
