Eye position coding accuracy changes after prolonged eccentric viewing. Adaptation alters perceived straight ahead, with asymmetric effects on accuracy depending on viewing direction.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Visual Perception
  • Oculomotor System

Background:

  • Accurate eye position coding is crucial for spatial awareness.
  • Eccentric viewing, or looking away from the center, can affect visual perception and spatial judgment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how prolonged eccentric viewing affects the brain's coding of eye position.
  • To understand the mechanisms underlying changes in perceived visual direction after adaptation.

Main Methods:

  • Participants adapted to prolonged eccentric viewing (11 degrees left or right).
  • Eye position sense was tested across a range of gaze angles (+/-22 degrees) using a sound as a reference.
  • A PEST procedure determined perceived light position relative to the sound source.

Main Results:

  • Eccentric viewing introduced errors in perceived light position, with an eye position gain of 0.77.
  • Prolonged eccentric viewing caused a symmetric directional bias and an asymmetric gain change.
  • Adaptation to leftward viewing increased eye position gain (more accurate), while rightward viewing decreased it (less accurate).

Conclusions:

  • Eye position coding is asymmetric and adaptable.
  • These findings suggest a recalibration of the oculomotor system in response to prolonged eccentric viewing.
