This volume contains the proceedings of the Ninth European Conference on Eye Movements (ECEM 9), held in Ulm, Germany, on September 23-26, 1997. ECEM 9 con­ tinued a series of conferences initiated by Rudolf Groner of Bern, Switzerland, in 1981 which, from its very beginning, has brought together scientists from very diverse fields with a common interest in eye movements. About 40 of the papers presented at ECEM 9 have been selected for presentation in full length while others are rendered in condensed form. There is a broad spectrum of motives why people have become involved in, and fas­ cinated by, eye movement research. Neuroscientists have been allured by the prospect of understanding anatomical findings, single unit recordings, and the sequels of experimental lesions in terms of the clearly defined system requirements and the well documented be­ havioural repertoire of the oculomotor system. Others have been attracted by the richness of this repertoire and its dependence on an intricate hierarchy of factors spanning from "simple" reflexes to visual pattern recognition and spatio-temporal prediction. Neurolo­ gists, neuro-ophthalmologists and neuro-otologists have long standing experience with eye movements as sensitive indicators of lesions in the brain stem, the midbrain, and the cere­ bellum. By studying oculomotor malfunctions they have made, and are continuing to make, important contributions to our understanding of oculomotor functions.

Product Description: This volume provides a snapshot of the state of the art of oculomotor and vestibular research, focusing on the bridge between laboratory and clinical research and the interdisciplinary relationships among ophthalmology, neurology, and otology...read more

This book brings together chapters from investigators on the leading edge on this new research area to explore on the leading edge on this new research area to explore common theoretical issues, empirical findings, technical problems, and outstanding questions. This book will serve as a blueprint for work on the interface of vision, language, and action over the next five to ten years.

Product Description: The book comprises selected papers presented at the 11th European Conference on Eye Movements (Turku, Finland, 2001). The conference series brings together researchers from various disciplines with an interest to study behavioral, neurobiological and clinical aspects of eye movements...read more

Product Description: Book by SIGGRAPH (Conference), Eye Tracking Research Applications Symposium (2002 : New Orleans, La.), Duchowski, Andrew T.

Product Description: The function of the parietal lobe has been a topic of great interest, its study stimulated by the profound and intriguing perceptual and motor deficits resulting from parietal lobe lesions in humans. The specific role of the parietal cortex has always been a matter of great controversy, with different laboratories emphasizing seemingly exclusive interpretations of parietal lobe functions arranged around a line separating sensory input and motor output, both possibly modulated by attention...read more

Product Description: A collection of contemporary work in various areas of eye-movement research with an emphasis on physiological aspects is presented in this book. The contributions are divided into six sections: I. saccadic eye movements; II. smooth pursuit and motion perception; III...read more

Product Description: The Sixth European Conference on Eye Movement (ECEM-6), which was organized at the Laboratory of Experimental Psychology of the University of Leuven (September 15-18, 1991) generated the publication of two separate books. The present volume comprises a mixture of contemporary work in various areas of eye-movement research in perception and cognition...read more

Product Description: This volume provides the reader with an in-depth look at the current status of research into vestibular and brain stem control of eye, head and body movements. The contents reflect the rapid progress that has recently occurred in understanding vestibulo-oculomotor function and the close co-operation that has developed among researchers in such diverse fields as morphology, physiology, neurology, modelling and computational neuroscience...read more
