  • In order to address this question we tested blinks elicited before the target onset of saccades and pursuit and compared the results to the gap effect: if a fixation light is extinguished for several hundred milliseconds, the reaction time (latency) for subsequent saccades or smooth pursuit eye movements is decreased. (uni-luebeck.de)
  • Our results add support for a common and shared sensorimotor process for saccades and pursuit. (eneuro.org)

  • A region of cortex in the frontal lobe, known as the frontal pursuit area, responds to particular vectors of pursuit, and can be electrically stimulated to induce pursuit movements. (wikipedia.org)
  • Visual motion drives smooth pursuit eye movements through a sensory-motor decoder that uses multiple parallel neural pathways to transform the population response in extrastriate area MT into movement. (bvsalud.org)

  • The sensory inputs of pursuit were thought to consist only of velocity and acceleration ( Krauzlis and Lisberger, 1994b ). (eneuro.org)
  • Our strategy was to determine how reduced dot coherence changes the population response in MT. We then predicted the properties of a decoder that transforms the MT population response into dot coherence-induced deficits in the initiation of pursuit and steady-state tracking. (bvsalud.org)

  • Video head impulse tests recorded slightly early acceleration for right horizontal canal ( Fig. 2B ). (e-rvs.org)

  • The neurons of the pons are tuned to eye velocity and are directionally selective, and can be stimulated to change the velocity of pursuit. (wikipedia.org)
  • These neurons code for the target velocity and are responsible for the particular velocity profile of pursuit. (wikipedia.org)
  • citation needed] The cerebellum, especially the vestibulo-cerebellum, is also involved in the online correction of velocity during pursuit. (wikipedia.org)
  • Open-loop pursuit is the visual system's first response to a moving object we want to track and typically lasts ~100 ms. Therefore, this stage is ballistic: Visual signals have not yet had time to correct the ongoing pursuit velocity or direction. (wikipedia.org)
  • This stage is characterized by the online correction of pursuit velocity to compensate for retinal slip. (wikipedia.org)
  • In other words, the pursuit system tries to null retinal velocity of the object of interest. (wikipedia.org)
  • Most humans are also better at downward than upward pursuit. (wikipedia.org)
  • The neural circuitry underlying smooth pursuit is an object of debate. (wikipedia.org)
  • In the scientific study of vision, smooth pursuit describes a type of eye movement in which the eyes remain fixated on a moving object. (wikipedia.org)
  • During pursuit initiation, decreased dot coherence reduces MT population response amplitude without changing the preferred speed at its peak. (bvsalud.org)
  • The latency reduction of smooth pursuit, but not of saccades, may neither be explained by the brief pupil occlusion nor by visual suppression, warning signals, or the startle response. (uni-luebeck.de)
  • In one-third of the trials (smooth pursuit or saccades) the fixation light was extinguished for 200 ms before stimulus onset (gap condition), and in another third of the trials reflexive blinks were elicited by a short airpuff before the stimulus onset (blink condition). (uni-luebeck.de)
  • in our data, this resulted in longer saccade trigger times and more smooth trials without saccades. (eneuro.org)
  • Stimulus direction and the three conditions were randomized for saccades and smooth pursuit separately. (uni-luebeck.de)
  • For instance, during the close loop phase selective attention is coupled to the pursuit target such that untracked targets which move in the same direction with the target are poorly processed by the visual system. (wikipedia.org)
  • The first step towards the initiation of pursuit is to see a moving target. (wikipedia.org)
  • These two areas are likely involved in providing the "go"-signal to initiate pursuit, as well as selecting which target to track. (wikipedia.org)
  • Recently, a loose coupling of open loop pursuit and attention was suggested, when there is only one possible moving target. (wikipedia.org)

  • The goals of these studies are to discover new nonlinear effects, determine thresholds in constitutive equations separating qualitatively different responses, treat control problems involving ""smart"" materials, examine important kinds of instabilities, contribute to the theory of shocks and dissipative mechanisms in solids, and develop new methods of nonlinear analysis and of effective computation for problems of solid mechanics.
