What is Listing's Law?
|
|
- Donders' law states that the orientation of the
eye when looking in a specific direction is
always the same.
- Listing's law specifies what this orientation is.
- Note the axes (the bars protruding from the eyes)
used to rotate from center to various eccentric
positions.
- Listing correctly predicted that all these axes
are confined to a common plane.
- This plane is called Listing's plane.
