9.04 Sensory Systems (Fall 2013, MIT OCW): Lecture 10 - The Neural Control of Visually Guided Eye Movements 1

9.04 Sensory Systems

9.04 Sensory Systems (Fall 2013, MIT OCW). Instructors: Professor Peter H. Schiller and Professor M. Christian Brown. This course examines the neural bases of sensory perception. The focus is on physiological and anatomical studies of the mammalian nervous system as well as behavioral studies of animals and humans. Topics include visual pattern, color and depth perception, auditory responses and sound localization, and somatosensory perception. (from ocw.mit.edu)

Lecture 10 - The Neural Control of Visually Guided Eye Movements 1

Instructor: Peter H. Schiller. This lecture introduces visually guided eye movements, including saccadic and smooth pursuit, and how they are controlled by the brain.
