Tp. Trappenberg et Rm. Klein, Generating oculomotor and neuronal behavior in a neural field model of thesuperior colliculus, BEHAV BRAIN, 22(4), 1999, pp. 700
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.
