Oculomotor Plant Mathematical Model in Kalman Filter Form With Peak Velocity-Based Neural Pulse for Continuous Gaze Prediction by Dmytro Katrychuk, Dillon J. Lohr, Oleg V. Komogortsev

“…However, this use case was only explored with OPMMs originally designed for saccade simulation. Such models typically relied on the neural pulse control being estimated from intended saccade amplitude - a property that becomes fully observed only after a saccade already ended, which greatly limits the model&#x2019;s prediction capabilities. …”
