Abstract(in English) We can fixate a stationary visible target while the head is translating. The fact means that compensatory eye movements for head translation exist to stabilize image or reduce it's velocity on the retina. Firstly, the authors investigated peak velocity of compensatory eye movements while subjects were translated sinusoidally at 0.5Hz over a range of amplitude (±5.0~±19.5[cm]). When peak eye velocity of 150[deg/s] was required to fixate stationary target 23[cm] in front of the eyes, 88% of the required velocity was seen attained over 4 subjects. Secondly, The relationship between vergence amplitude and peak eye velocity was investigated while subjects fixated an imaginary target with double vision. Vergence amplitude was not correlated with peak eye velocity of compensatory movements. It is concluded that not the effort of vergence but the perception of distance to an imaginary target determines the peak eye velocity of compensatory eye movements.
