Quoted by An Active Vision: Charles Sherrington's ocular physiology
Description:'The orientation of the retina in space in regard to the line of gravity, that is to say in the mind in regard to verticality, results from co-operation between the spatial gravity sense-organ and the muscular sense of the orbital muscles... [the posture of the eyeball] is perceived by the mind not as a state of the eyeball, but as a state of the external world, of the world as seen; it is “projected.”' (341-342)
