Body asymmetry affects conjugate lateral eye movement . A. H. Baker ( 1989 ) and A. H. Baker and A. I. Ledner ( 1990 ) reported that asymmetrical visual stimulation affects conjugate lateral eye movement ( CLEM ) . In the present article , the authors explored whether asymmetrical body position similarly affects CLEM . The authors assessed CLEMs twice in a counterbalanced design . In the control ( symmetric ) condition , each participant sat in a completely symmetrical position facing a wall devoid of any asymmetrical features . In the experimental ( asymmetrical ) condition , half the participants rotated their heads 68 degrees clockwise relative to their bodies to face the experimenter , and the other half rotated their heads 68 degrees counterclockwise , also to face the experimenter . CLEM was predominantly toward the body 's position in the asymmetrical condition rather than toward the body 's position in the symmetrical condition .
