| Research Abstract |
To investigate the information processing in the brain during visual tracking eye movements, we exposed various moving visual stimuli to human subjects, monkeys and mice, and analyzed their ocular responses. For a further understanding, we recorded neuronal activities in the cerebral cortex of monkeys. We found that in the species tested the visual tracking eye movements were dependent on the motion of the major Fourier component of the moving visual stimuli.
