Abstract
This paper presents a method to analyze a relationship between postural adjustment and ocular motion. Vestibular nuclei integrate the signals from VOR and OKR learning pathways. And also, there is a nerve pathway from the vestibular nuclei to spinal motor neurons. Reflex ocular motion has an intimate involvement in involuntary movement such as bipedal locomotion. Reflex ocular motion and involuntary movement are simply modeled based on the concept of compound control. Self-organized map is used for learning algorithm. The features of VOR and OKR are mapped on extraocular muscle motor neurons and the features of signals integrated between a semicircular canal and a retina are mapped on the motor neurons for involuntary movement. We hope our proposal method helps to reveal mechanisms for emergence of functional cooperation in the brain.
