Abstract

Two-dimensional eye movements of three alert cats, whose heads were restrained, were recorded with a magnetic field search coil technique while they fixated stationary objects of their own choosing in a lighted room and also while in darkness. With visible targets the cats used slow control (drift correction) to maintain fixation. Microsaccades were not observed. The stability of eye position was as good as man's but 0.2-sec drift velocities were almost twice as fast. Slow control was lost in the dark. These results do not agree with prior reports based on horizontal eye movement records.
