Selected models for gaze orientation and their general characteristics

Scope (Replicated Experiments)
General Features
Model Saccade (fast phase) Fixation (slow phase) Switching (OPN) Eye only or eye/head movements Central responses Lesions Initial conditions Perturbations during gaze shift Independent head goals Independent plant controller or shared feedback controller Black box or Physiological model Includes ideal integrators or plant models 1D, 2D, or 3D gaze orientation Model includes cerebellum

OPN, omnipause neurons; Y, yes; N, no; E, eye movement; EH, eye/head movement; VL, very limited lesions; L, limited lesions; M, multiple lesions; I, independent plant controller; SF, shared feedback; B, black box model; P, physiological model; II, ideal integrators; PM, plant models; 1D, 2D, and 3D indicate 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional.
