title: Cortical control of eye movements.
abstract: Event related cortical potentials and imaging provide information about roles of the cerebral hemispheres in generating voluntary and reflexive saccades. This review also discusses relationships between smooth pursuit and visual discrimination of motion direction and the phenomenon of blindsight. Cortical effects of strabismus on motion processing and smooth pursuit are reviewed.
