Responses of single cells in the striate cortex of a behaving monkey were studied while the eye movements of fixation were monitored with high precision. Receptive fields of cortical neurons moved in space with the eye. When the eye position signal was used to stabilize the image on the retina, response rates were more vigorous and more reliable. When the image was not stabilized, the estimates of receptive field activating areas were influenced (usually inflated) in unpredictable ways. With stabilization, small receptive fields can be studied and powerful surround interactions become apparent.
在对一只行为猴的纹状皮层中的单细胞反应进行研究时，同时高精度监测其注视眼动。皮层神经元的感受野会随眼睛在空间中移动。当使用眼位信号来稳定视网膜上的图像时，反应率更强烈且更可靠。当图像未稳定时，感受野激活区域的估计会受到不可预测方式的影响（通常是增大）。通过稳定化，可以研究小感受野，并且强大的周边相互作用变得明显。
