Abstract :
This study investigates the way in which the saccadic components (quick phases) of vestibular nystagmus are generated. We propose a neural network model for the vestibule saccadic pathway, which shows dynamic adaptation of the quick phase parameters in order to faithfully reproduce the vestibular nystagmus
