A method is presented for direct studies of oculostatic and oculomotor disturbances appearing after reduction of visual stimuli. Some clinical illustrations are given showing the appearance of marked ocular deviations and complex nystagmus patterns after the application of black contact caps. The method offers a possibility to provoke a whole series of phenomena of interest in neurological work. Several of these features can evidently not be recorded with the aid of electronystagmography.
