title: Looking, moving and seeing.
abstract: Why are there eye movements? To shift images across the retina. There is a system for fast centering of an image on the retina, a system for tracking a slowly moving image, and a vestibular system for maintaining the same field of view. How is the perception of the visual world rendered stable in the face of all these eye movements and yet the movement of particular objects within the environment is accurately seen?
