Thèmes de recherche // Research topics

Saccade and smooth pursuit are the eye movements used by primates to shift gaze. I propose that these responses are operant behaviours controlled by their consequences on visually guided tasks. Studying the conditions under which particular eye movement patterns might emerge from the cumulative effects of reinforcement provides critical insights about how motor responses are attuned to environmental exigencies.
