Abstract

Goodwin et al. [2] demonstrated that when a subject's forearm is restrained, vibration of the tendons of his biceps or triceps muscle produces illusory motion of his forearm. We have found that subjects seated in a totally dark room can track with pursuit eye movements the illusory motion of their forearms induced by muscle vibration. It can be concluded that muscle afferent information can be utilized to control the direction of regard.
