Abstract
An adaptive linear filter model of the cerebellum (Fujita, 1982), which functions as a phase lead or lag compensator with learning capability, is applied to a problem of the cerebellar control of the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR). Under the assumption that the cerebellar flocculus accounts for adaptive modification of dynamic characteristics of the VOR, the cerebellar model was incorporated into a linear control model of the oculomotor system. The results of a simulation study are in good agreement with experimental data on eye movement.
