EMDR Effects on Pursuit Eye Movements
Figure 2
Eye movements recorded during the pursuit task.
Individual traces of rightward smooth pursuit eye movements before and after EMDR for each subject. Each trace shows the instantaneous eye position over time during an individual trial. The thick diagonal line shows target displacement from centre the right of the screen. The eye movement starts after a latency period (see thick horizontal segment, s4). The eye position lagging behind target position frequently small catch up saccades are made (upward arrows). Occasionally the eye anticipates, e.g. going beyond target position and then a small saccade returns it back on the target (see downward arrow). The values of SUD and VOC are shown in cells of each figure. After EMDR all subjects show decrease of SUD and increase of VOC (when measured).
