Individuals with nystagmus have problems with stable neurological control of the extraocular muscles. For this to happen, logical thinking would suggest that they have reduced global motion processing. Anyone know of any studies carried out in this area?

One of the aspects of this article prompted my question as well as the studies indicating reduced motion processing in amblyopia. I am finding a direct correlation between motion coherence meaqsures and educational ability
Hi Geoff, Thanks so much for your interest. There has been a considerable amount of research demonstrating the link between abnormal motion perception and reduced educational ability or dyslexia. The common term for abnormal global motion perception has been widely proposed as "Dorsal stream Vulnerability." I could send you a couple of more articles regarding the dorsal stream vulnerability or if you look up in the google scholar as dorsal stream vulnerability and Braddick and Atkinson you will get tens of articles! Cheers !
Oh, and regarding Nystagmus and Global motion perception, I found a paper which was published in 1998. This could be of your interest.
