Prior claims that subjects imagining an oscillating pendulum with eyes closed can produce eye movements corresponding to those found when the subject's eyes are actually pursuing the moving pendulum are refuted by showing that the apparently smooth movements under imagination are not truly sinusoidal, and tend greatly to exceed the amplitude of the pendulum's excursion.
