Roger Carpenter, Professor of Oculomotor Physiology at Cambridge, died on 27 October 2017, aged 72. His ‘Movements of the Eyes’ was a classic text. His own research, and his influential theoretical model, revealed how saccadic movements of the eyes could be used to study human decision making. His textbook of Neurophysiology has been used by generations of students. In his Cambridge college – Gonville and Caius – he was a much admired teacher: his engaging supervisions were intellectual in the noblest sense and inspired many medical students to combine experimental research with a clinical career.
