Human optokinetic afternystagmus. Is the fast component of OKAN decay due to smooth pursuit?
Eye movement after-effects subsequent to pursuit of a single LED target were studied in human subjects to test the hypothesis that constant velocity pursuit activates a velocity storage system in the neuronal pathway. The temporal characteristics of observed after-effects fall within those predicted from the Robinson model of eyeball mechanics, indicating that neuronal integration was not a factor.
