Conclusion

Most research on the VOR has assumed forward gaze focussed at infinity. The kinematics of off-center gaze and fixation at finite distance necessitates nonlinear corrections that require the integration of a variety of sensory inputs. The dynamical model studied here is a working hypothesis for how these corrections could be computed and is generally consistent with what is known about the cerebellum and brain stem nuclei. We are, however, far from knowing the mechanisms underlying these computations, or how they are learned through experience.
