This lecture explains the different types of eye movements: conjugate, disconjugate, shifting, vestibule-ocular reflex, version & vergence, torsion, optokinetic nystagms, and smooth pursuit. The lecture focusses on how we use these eye movements when we are moving, and to perceive objects that are moving- and at the same time. There is extra reading included also including Bruce (2003) Visual Perception textbook, palmer Vision Science textbook and a paper by Barnes (2011) Diagrams are inclu...

This lecture focusses on explaining how we work out what is moving in our field of vision, e.g. how do we know it is a person moving in front of us as opposed to the tv behind them? It compares two theories: extra retina signals and visual masking. These can be complex theories to wrap your head around, and these notes summarise it in an easy way. I have included here the additional reading set by the lecturer, along side some of my own additional reading (identified by a *** in front of it)....

This lecture summary was based on how we guide our own self-movement- what cues does one use to get to a target? The lecture explores two hypotheses: optic flow and egocentric direction. The lecture explores the role of extra retinal signals, models of heading, and fascinating phenomenons such as unilateral neglect, with the case study of WV. I have also included interesting information from papers on neglect and locomotion in terms of the gender differences and also in patients with parkinson...
