In the 16 years since we last summarized the behavior of the premotor elements that control
saccades, research has revealed shortcomings in previous formulations of the control …

Changing the direction of the line of sight is essential for the visual exploration of our
environment. When the head does not move, re-orientation of the visual axis is …

We describe a neurobiological model of visual attention and eye/head movements in
primates, and its application to the automatic animation of a realistic virtual human head …

Here, we review the angular vestibulocollic reflex (VCR) focusing on its function during
unexpected and voluntary head movements. Theoretically, the VCR could (1) stabilize the …

The midbrain superior colliculus is a crucial sensorimotor stage for programming and
generating saccadic eye-head gaze shifts. Although it is well established that superior …

We conducted a literature review on sensor heads for humanoid robots. A strong case is
made on topics involved in human robot interaction. Having found that vision is the most …

Express saccades promote the acquisition of visual targets at extremely short reaction times.
Because of the head's considerable inertia, it is unknown whether express saccades are …

We present a novel framework for animating human characters performing fast visually
guided tasks, such as catching a ball. The main idea is to consider the coordinated …

Displacements of the visual axis and multi-segmental (eye-to-foot) coordination in the yaw
plane were studied in ten human subjects (Ss) during voluntary reorientations to illuminated …

The Superior Colliculus: New Approaches for Studying Sensorimotor Integration discusses
new experimental and theoretical approaches to investigating how the brain transforms …
