Summary To determine how vestibular and optokinetic eye movement signals share the central oculomotor neural organization, optokinetic afternystagmus was superposed on vestibular nystagmus in the monkey. To a first approximation there was algebraic additivity in the velocity domain. This result suggests that vestibular and optokinetic eye movements are integrated at a level of neural organization above the ocular motoneurons, at a level in which neural signals are coded in terms of eye movement velocity rather than eye position.
