Comparison of Horizontal, Vertical and Diagonal Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements in Normal Human Subjects

Abstract: We compared horizontal and vertical smooth pursuit eye movements in five healthy human subjects. When maintenance of pursuit was tested using predictable waveforms (sinusoidal or triangular target motion), the gain of horizontal pursuit was greater, in all subjects, than that of vertical pursuit; this was also the case for the horizontal and vertical components of diagonal and circular tracking. When initiation of pursuit was tested, four subjects tended to show larger eye accelerations for vertical as opposed… Show more

“…Thus, the (at least partial) independence of the control processes involved may lead to diþ erent kinematics of the two components. Similar conclusions were reached regarding smooth pursuit eye movements, which also revealed upward± downward asymmetries in the vertical direction (Rottach et al, 1996). Second, in addition to the differential task-related dynamics of juggling in the horizontal and vertical direction (see above), the active constraints in both orthogonal components are markedly diþ erent in that the gravitational force constrains the time evolution of the balls in the vertical, but not in the horizontal, direction.…”

“…The difference between k x and k y suggests that the vertical tracing gain is smaller than the horizontal tracing gain. The directional asymmetry of gaze movement has previously been reported in smooth pursuit where horizontal movements were more accurate and faster than vertical movements (Rottach et al 1996). Our pattern of results suggests the possibility that such asymmetry also exists in saccadic eye movement.…”

“…The average dot density was 40 dots deg 22 s 21 . A 'black' (0.5 cd m 22 ) segment reference line (length, 0.58; width, 0.158), starting 3.58 from the fixation point, served as a discrimination boundary ( figure 1a,b).…”

“…Several studies have compared psychophysical and oculomotor performance in direction discrimination [17,18], but the results are equivocal. In particular, although effects such as reference repulsion and the oblique effect are consistently observed across different psychophysical experiments (see [19] as an example), studies investigating these effects with eye movements disagree in their conclusions [20,21].…”
