Floating-Gate Circuits for Adaptation of Saccadic Eye Movement Accuracy

  • Chapter
Neuromorphic Systems Engineering

Abstract

The most common eye movements in primates are the quick reorienting movements known as saccades. Our eyes often reach speeds up to 750 degs/s during a saccade which severely impairs our visual acuity. It is therefore important to minimize the time during which the eyes are moving. While typical human saccades have a duration of 40ms to 150 ms, changes in the optics, the oculomotor plant, or the underlying neural circuitry can cause deficits which delay optimal viewing conditions.
