Abstract
Recordings of eye movements and single-neuron microelectrode recordings of the superior colliculus in cats show that, for each saccadic movement, their eyes start near the center of the orbit so that the coordinates of visual and auditory space are aligned, and complex neural compensation of auditory or visual inputs to the superior colliculus is unnecessary.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
