报告摘要：If the brain is viewed as an information processing system, the sensory information from different channels is its input and the different movements that we make daily are its outputs. As a model for the studying of the outputs, monkey’s eye movement control system has several advantages:
1) The load is fixed (because the weight of the eye ball is more or less a constant during a period of time);
2) The eye movements are relatively simple (its movements can be approximated as three-dimensional rotations around a fixed point in the space and therefore, can be measured accurately);
3) The system consists of structures located in both brain stem and cortex, which allows us to study both low and high brain functions.
All these characteristics make the eye movement control system an ideal model to study the brain output mechanisms. In this lecture, a brief introduction of this system will be given first and then, some of our studies on the coding strategy of this system will be discussed.
