Localizing a touch on the waist. During eccentric gaze both the perceived body midline and the perceived direction of gaze are mis-estimated in the directions of the dashed arrows (see text). Localizing a touch relative to one of these reference directions therefore results in the perceived location of touch moving toward that direction (A). For a task in which the location of a perceived touch on the waist is reported without moving gaze, left gaze is associated with a shift (blue area) toward the right and vice versa (B). If participants shift gaze before reporting, displacements are in the direction of gaze (C). Data redrawn from Pritchett et al. (2012).
