Fig. 1.
Afferent mapping of the right visual hemifield (a) results in the complex-logarithmic gaze motor map (b) that relates the anatomical position of active neural populations to saccade directions and amplitudes. Three saccade vectors in the visual field and anatomical positions of corresponding neural populations are highlighted. c Dynamic linear ensemble coding model can reproduce the saccade kinematics based on the SC spiking activity by the summation of a site-specific, fixed minivector for each spike (Eqs. 1, 2). d Burst profiles and population activity characteristics within the SC for the three different saccade amplitudes shown in (a, b) (after Van Opstal and Goossens 2008)
