  • Proposed weights of the connections from MT to the cortical pursuit system (CPS) for inputs from each eye and each hemifield in the 2 strabismic monkeys (PW and SY) and 1 control monkey (AB). The weights are derived on the basis of the model architecture shown in Figure 13. For each monkey, the values of the b weights were calculated according to the equations given in the text after normalizing eye acceleration to have a maximum value of 1.0 for all eight combinations of viewing eye, hemisphere, and direction of pursuit in that monkey. For the control monkey, we assumed that the values of the aweights were all 1.0, because all units in MT of the control monkeys received inputs from both eyes.
