COUNTERROLLING OF THE HUMAN EYE.
Abstract
Counterrolling is a conjugate rolling movement of the eye around the line of sight opposite to the lateral inclination of the head. Measurements of counterrolling were obtained for four subjects (three normal and one labyrinthine defective) for static positions of lateral head (body) tilt and for vertical rotation in the frontal plane at constant rates up to 30 rpm. A specially designed rotating chair and cine photographic technique were used. The measured static counterrolling responses compared favorably with those obtained by other investigators. The dynamic counterroling responses were similar to the static responses except for a constant time lag of 1/3 second and a decrease in amplitude. (Author)
