Description:
In darkness, observers partially paralyzed with curare make large (greater thn 20 degrees) gaze- and dosage-dependent errors in visually localizing eye-level-horizontal and median planes, in matching the location of a sound to a light, and in pointing at a light. In illuminated, structured visual localization and pointing are accurate but errors in auditory-to-visual matches remain. Defects in extraretinal eye position information are responsible for all errors. The influence of extraretinal eye position information on visual localization is suppressed by a structured visual field but is crucial both in darkness and for intersensory localization if visual capture is prevented.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Matin, L -- Picoult, E -- Stevens, J K -- Edwards, M W Jr -- Young, D -- MacArthur, R -- EY 03198/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Apr 9;216(4542):198-201.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7063881" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
