title: Head holder for lateral-eyed species in vision research.
abstract: The present report describes a head holder designed to be used for lateral-eyed species in vision research. The head-holder employs a prosthesis implanted on the skull and provides for adjustable movements in different planes, thus allowing precise positioning of the eye with respect to the visual space.
