Pribe, Christopher A.Bullock, Daniel2011-11-142011-11-141995-09https://hdl.handle.net/2144/2204We hypothesize that Listing's Law emerges as a result of two key properties of the saccadic sensory-motor system: 1) The visual sensory apparatus has a 2-D topology and 2) motor synergists are synchronized. The theory is tested by showing that eye attitudes that obey Listing's Law are achieved in a 3-D saccadic control system that translates visual eccentricity into synchronized motor commands via a 2-D spatial gradient. Simulations of this system demonstrate that attitudes assumed by the eye upon accurate foveation tend to obey Listing's Law.en-USCopyright 1995 Boston University.
