Abstract

This is a report of dysjunctive eye movements, both spatial and temporal, that were noted while recording eye movements by means of electro-oculography. 1,2 It has recently been stated that ... the nonfixing eye follows the movements of the fixating eye quite faithfully. 3 It is the purpose of this report to demonstrate, with electrooculographic records, the independent nature of each eye, as well as the dysjunctive eye movement patterns. Electro-oculography is based upon the cornea-retinal potential, which was first demonstrated by du Bois-Reymond 4 in 1849. The eye acts as a small dipole, so that, if electrodes are placed about the eye, a change in the electrode potential will occur when the cornea becomes closer to one electrode and farther from the diametrically opposite electrode. A record of the eye movements is obtained when the electrodes are placed in the principle meridians, vertical and horizontal, of each eye and recorded
