[Changes in ocular saccade kinematics after 7-day dry immersion]. 2008

L N Zobova, and N V Miller, and A M Badakva

To assess effects of long-term support removal on gaze control, 5 human subjects were tested for successful touch of a light target unpredictably emerging in the peripheral field of vision before and immediately after 7-d dry immersion. The test did not set time requirements to gaze fixation on target and motor task implementation. Ocular movements were registered with an infrared eye image analyzer at 100 Hz. Modification of the dependences of maximum velocity and duration of saccade toward the homolateral target on amplitude following immersion pointed to speeding-up of the saccadic eye movements.
