Because the latter effect cannot be attributed to retinal slip as a relevant feedback for postural control, the authors investigated how eye movements rather than retinal slip affect balance. They found that slow eye movements increase sway, possibly by an efference copy, which explains why spontaneous nystagmus causes postural imbalance.
