| Abstract | 1. Do slow phase eye velocities generated by the vestibuloocu-lar reflex (VOR) depend on eye position? If the purpose of the VOR is simply to stabilize the retinal image, there can be no such dependence, because eye velocity must always be equal and oppo-site to head velocity. But if the VOR tolerates some retinal slip to achieve other goals, such as reducing eye velocity or following Listing’s law, then one should see specific patterns of dependence. We examined VOR responses of human subjects to yaw, pitch, and roll rotation looking in various directions to quantify how the input-output properties of the VOR vary with eye position. 2. Eye rotation axes during yaw and pitch tilted in the same direction as the gaze line but only one-quarter as far on average. Thus, during yaw head rotation, the axis of eye rotation was roughly aligned with the head axis when the subject looked straight ahead, but tilted up when the gaze direction was up, and |
