Optimal Control of Gaze Shifts

摘要: To explore the visible world, human beings and other primates often rely on gaze shifts. These are coordinated movements of eyes head characterized by stereotypical metrics kinematics. It is possible to determine rules that effectors must obey execute them rapidly accurately neural commands needed implement these with help optimal control theory. In this study, we demonstrate head-fixed saccades head-free shifts a simple physical principle, "the minimum effort rule." By direct comparison existing models shifts, conclude circuitry implements rule one uses inhibitory cross talk between independent eye controllers.
