Normal right-handed subjects indicated with their index finger the midpoint of a horizontal rod that they could not see. Subjects performed this task while directing their gaze centrally or toward two different locations (5° or 30°) to the left or to the right of the midline. Results showed an overall leftward bias in rod bisection, which increased when subjects used their right hand and fixated a right-sided visual target. We demonstrated that orienting of gaze can affect a non-visual, tactilo-kinesthetic spatial task. The possible mechanisms of this interaction are discussed with respect to activation-orienting theory, egocentric hypotheses and directional trends.
