Die Informationsverarbeitung der höheren Zentren des Systems der Augenfolgebewegung

Abstract

In the following paper we develop a general model for properties of identification and prediction of human tracking movements as a synthesis of experimental results and mathematical methods. The applicability of this general concept is checked by way of simulation of the eyetracking-system on a digital computer. We suggest a parallel system, which coordinates prediction by way of extrapolation and reproduction with error-correction. The simulation of the experimentally found principles of information-processing (signal-identification, extrapolation, reproduction, error-correction, control of performance) has turned out to be an adequate functional description, so far as it can be proved by comparison of the results in the experiments and in the simulation.
