Le «bobbing» oculaire décrit par Fisher est caractérisé par des mouvements survenant dans le plan vertical, faits de la succession d'un déplacement rapide vers le bas suivi, après une pause dans cette position, d'une réascension plus lente vers la position de départ. L'ensemble évoque un brusque mouvement de «révérence» ou encore de «plongée» d'où le terme de bobbing. 2, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9v%C3%A9rence%20oculaire
