An experimental study of mental patients through the autokinetic phenomenon.

Autokinetic Movement: Selective Manipulation of Directional Components by Image Stabilization
TL;DR: It is suggested that this result is consistent with an eye movement interpretation of autokinetic movement, and that the response patterns reported here are similar to those that might be expected from recent work describing cortical single unit movement detectors.
