Adaptive Internal Model Theory of the Oculomotor System and the Cerebellum

In this article, we present a computational model of the oculomotor system and the cerebellum. In contrast with prevailing theories of cerebellar function, we propose the cerebellum embodies adaptive internal models of all persistent, exogenous, deterministic signals acting on the body and observable through the error signals it receives. Our model is validated by simulations, recovering results from a number of oculomotor experiments.
