Abstract

Several recent studies of human eye movements have revealed systematic departures from Listing’s law during changes in vergence. Two kinematic models of eye movements predict a vergence-dependent contribution to torsion T proportional to elevation E and vergence V (angles in radians):

$$ {\text{T = kEV/2}}$$
