The moving tablet of the eye : the origins of modern eye movement research
Eye movements are a vital part of our interaction with the world. This book traces the history of eye movement research, and shows how great strides were made in this area long before modern recording devices were available. It is useful for those interested in the origins of psychology and neuroscience.
