• Abstract:
  Long-associated with transportation ('railroad nystagmus'), optokinetic (OPK) nystagmus is an eye-movement reaction which occurs when a series of moving objects crosses the visual field or when an observer moves past a series of objects. Similar continual movement of the eyes (and head) has been reported to produce an undesired occupational nystagmus. ; The present study examined responses of animals and men to durations of OPK stimulation varying between 15-120 seconds. Characteristics of the animal responses differed considerably from those of men in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The data were compared with vestibular eye-movement patterns (those which can blur vision during 'pilot's vertigo') to differentiate aspects of the eye-movement responses which can be attributed primarily to vestibular rather than oculo-motor origins.
