ABSTRACT

The perceptual changes accompanying eye movements in man have been considered extensively in this symposium. What I would like to consider now is several possible physiological correlates of these perceptual changes. In this brief presentation, I decided to concentrate on work in the monkey since most of the work relating visual behavior to single-cell activity has been done in this cooperative primate. I also decided to limit consideration to recent work on the striate area of cerebral cortex and the superior colliculus in the midbrain.
