The human ocular following response (OFR) is a preattentive, short-latency visual-field–holding mechanism, which is enhanced if the moving stimulus is applied in the wake of a saccade. Since most natural gaze shifts incorporate both saccadic and vergence components, we asked whether the OFR was also enhanced during vergence. Ten subjects viewed vertically moving sine-wave gratings on a video monitor at 45 cm that had a temporal frequency of 16.7 Hz, contrast of 32%, and spatial frequency of 0.17, 0.27, or 0.44 cycle/deg. In Fixation/OFR experiments, subjects fixed on a white central dot on the video monitor, which disappeared at the beginning of each trial, just as the sinusoidal grating started moving up or down. We measured the change in eye position in the 70- to 150-ms open-loop interval following stimulus onset. Group mean downward responses were larger (0.14°) and made at shorter latency (85 ms) than upward responses (0.10° and 96 ms). The direction of eye drifts during control trials, when gratings remained stationary, was unrelated to the prior response. During vergence/OFR experiments, subjects switched their fixation point between the white dot at 45 cm and a red spot at 15 cm, cued by the disappearance of one target and appearance of the other. When horizontal vergence velocity exceeded 15°/s, motion of sinusoidal gratings commenced and elicited the vertical OFR. Subjects showed significantly ( P < 0.001) larger OFR when the moving stimulus was presented during convergence (group mean increase of 46%) or divergence (group mean increase of 36%) compared with following fixation. Since gaze shifts between near and far are common during natural activities, we postulate that the increase of OFR during vergence movements reflects enhancement of early cortical motion processing, which serves to stabilize the visual field as the eyes approach their new fixation point.

Visual neurons integrate information over a finite part of the visual field with high selectivity. This classical receptive field is modulated by peripheral inputs that play a role in both neuronal response normalization and contextual modulations. However, the consequences of these properties for visuomotor transformations are yet incompletely understood. To explore those, we recorded short-latency ocular following responses in humans to large center-only and center-surround stimuli. We found that eye movements are triggered by a mechanism that integrates motion over a restricted portion of the visual field, the size of which depends on stimulus contrast and increases as a function of time after response onset. We also found evidence for a strong nonisodirectional center-surround organization, responsible for normalizing the central, driving input so that motor responses are set to their most linear contrast dynamics. Such response normalization is delayed about 20 ms relative to tracking onset, gradually builds up over time, and is partly tuned for surround orientation/direction. These results outline the spatiotemporal organization of a behavioral receptive field, which might reflect a linear integration among subpopulations of cortical visual motion detectors.
