Inflow as a source of extraretinal eye position information.Experiments were performed which show that subjects can reliably report when, and in which direction, loads were applied to their eyes in total darkness, which indicates that they were aware of inflow eye position information. Awareness of the inflow signal was not disrupted when the eyelids and conjunctiva were anesthetized and the eyelids were retracted from all possible contact with the scleral contact lens. Furthermore, the subjects maintained eye position when loads were applied to the eye in total darkness, showing that this inflow information can be used for extraretinal oculomotor control.
