Evidence for wide range of time scales in oculomotor plant dynamics: Implications for models of eye-movement control
Open accessAbstract
Oculomotor-plant dynamics are not well characterised, despite their importance for modelling eye-movement control. We analysed the time course of the globe's return after horizontal displacements in three rhesus monkeys lightly anaesthetised with ketamine. The eye-position traces were well fitted by a sum of four exponentials (time constants 0.012, 0.099, 0.46, 7.8 s). The two long time-constant terms accounted for 25% of plant compliance, and led to a model that accounted for hitherto unexplained features of ocular motoneuron firing such as (i) hysteresis, and (ii) the inability of a 2 time-constant model to fit data for both fast and slow eye-movements.

This cyclic structure may be required for control of the eye plant, which can be approximated as a highly damped mass-spring system whose impulse-response function exhibits overdamped oscillations, and may suggest the importance of a weak, but non-negligible, mass term in the plant.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
