Abstract
The functional schema in the Findlay & Walker target article presents an un derstanding of oculomotor behavior primarily at an algorithmic level of ana lysis. Although such an analysis is an important first step, present knowle dge of the neuroscientific substrate for oculomotor behavior is sufficientl y advanced to support, if not warrant, computationally explicit models expl aining how oculomotor behavior is implemented by this substrate. The litera ture contains a growing number of examples of this strategy, which we illus trate using our work.
