Establishing a coherent internal reference frame for visuospatial
representation and maintaining the integrity of this frame during eye
movements are thought to be crucial for both perception and motor
control. A stable headcentric representation could be constructed by
internally comparing retinal signals with eye position. Alternatively,
visual memory traces could be actively remapped within an oculocentric
frame to compensate for each eye movement. We tested these models by
measuring errors in manual pointing (in complete darkness) toward
briefly flashed central targets during three oculomotor paradigms;
subjects pointed accurately when gaze was maintained on the target
location (control paradigm). However, when steadily fixating peripheral
locations (static paradigm), subjects exaggerated the retinal
eccentricity of the central target by 13.4 ± 5.1%. In the key
"dynamic" paradigm, subjects briefly foveated the central target
and then saccaded peripherally before pointing toward the remembered
location of the target. Our headcentric model predicted accurate
pointing (as seen in the control paradigm) independent of the saccade,
whereas our oculocentric model predicted misestimation (as seen in the
static paradigm) of an internally shifted retinotopic trace. In fact,
pointing errors were significantly larger than were control errors
(p 0.003) and were indistinguishable (p 0.25) from the static paradigm errors.
Scatter plots of pointing errors (dynamic vs static paradigm) for
various final fixation directions showed an overall slope of 0.97, contradicting the headcentric prediction (0.0) and supporting the
oculocentric prediction (1.0). Varying both fixation and
pointing-target direction confirmed that these errors were a function
of retinotopically shifted memory traces rather than eye position per
se. To reconcile these results with previous pointing experiments, we
propose a "conversion-on-demand" model of visuomotor control in
which multiple visual targets are stored and rotated (noncommutatively)
within the oculocentric frame, whereas only select targets are
transformed further into head- or bodycentric frames for motor
execution.
