title: Computed extraocular muscle activity during blinks.
abstract: The rotations and retractions of the eyeball due to co-contraction of the extraocular muscles are investigated using a model of the mechanics of the orbital plant. The hypothesis that the rotational movements are secondary to globe retraction is not supported.
