ABSTRACT
This chapter details how visual aftereffects can be measured (so that MIS technologies can be tested to ensure they do not create problems) and is organized in the following manner. First, a detailed consideration of the ocular-motor system is provided. Second, a series of clinical tests are detailed that are useful in indicating whether the ocular-motor system has been placed under stress. These tests are used generally to explore ocular-motor status before and after using a particular VE system for a given period of time. We additionally describe a different approach to investigating the impact of VE systems on the ocular-motor system. This section describes experimental results that highlight some interesting features of the ocular-motor system. Finally, we provide an overview of recent advances in MIS and give a consideration of the issues relating to visual aftereffects raised by this technology.
