This text is the first to emphasize the role of oculomotor systems in perception.
Oculomotor systems that regulate eye movements play an important role in accounting
for certain qualities of visual experience. They are implicated in a wide array
of perceptual topics, from apparent size, depth, and distance, to apparent slant
and vertical orientation. The text begins with a brief introduction to the basic
characteristics of such oculomotor systems as those controlling vergence, pursuit,
the vestibulo-ocular response, and saccadic eye movements. Also introduced are
fundamental concepts in physiological optics. Next explored are mechanisms of
perception, with a particular focus on eye movements, and the remarkably diverse
implications of oculomotor research, which extend to motion sickness and life
in space orbit. Insights into dysfunctional vision are also offered. This book
complements standard texts on visual perception, yet may be read independently
by those with a modest background in vision science.
