Abstract :
We present an anatomically and neurophysiologically relevant mathematical model for visual-vestibular interaction which reproduces the short-term adaptive behavior of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) with target distance and eccentricity. Adaptive changes are shown to anticipate acquisition of a spatial goal, circumventing the delays associated with visual feedback
