Class OttesSCMapper

source code

Abstract class for superior colliculus mappings.

Subclasses of this class implement afferent and efferent mappings from Ottes et al. (1986) Vision Research 26:857-873.

Default constant values are from Table 1, ibid.

Class Variable Details

[hide private]

__abstract

bool(x) -> bool

Returns True when the argument x is true, False otherwise. The builtins True and False are the only two instances of the class bool. The class bool is a subclass of the class int, and cannot be subclassed.

Value:

True

A

Shape parameter A, in degrees

Value:

param.Number(default= 5.3, doc= """
       Shape parameter A, in degrees""")

Bu

Rostral-caudal scale parameter, in mm

Value:

param.Number(default= 1.8, doc= """
       Rostral-caudal scale parameter, in mm""")

Bv

Orthogonal (medial-lateral?) scale paraemter in mm/deg

Value:

param.Number(default= 1.8, doc= """
       Orthogonal (medial-lateral?) scale paraemter in mm/deg""")

mm_scale

Scale factor to convert constants Bu and Bv from mm to sheet units. Expressed in mm/unit.

Value:

param.Number(default= 8.0, doc= """
       Scale factor to convert constants Bu and Bv from mm to sheet
       units.  Expressed in mm/unit. """)

amplitude_scale

Scale factor for saccade command amplitude, expressed in degrees per unit of sheet. Indicates how large a saccade is represented by the x-component of the command input.

Value:

param.Number(default= 1, doc= """
        Scale factor for saccade command amplitude, expressed in
        degrees per unit of sheet.  Indicates how large a
        saccade is represented by the x-component of the command
        input.""")

direction_scale

Scale factor for saccade command direction, expressed in degrees per unit of sheet. Indicates what direction of saccade is represented by the y-component of the command input.

Value:

param.Number(default= 1, doc= """
        Scale factor for saccade command direction, expressed in
        degrees per unit of sheet.  Indicates what direction of saccade
        is represented by the y-component of the command input.""")
