Title

Understanding the Kinematics of Eye Movements with Mathematica
Author

Conference

2003 International Mathematica Symposium
Conference location

Imperial College, London
Description

The position of the eye is described by Listing's law, which states that any movement of the eye away from the straight ahead position is accomplished by a rotation about an axis which is perpendicular to the straight ahead direction. Mathematica is used to provide concise derivations of the implications of this law for vision.
