saccade model - A parametric model for saccadic eye movement
This MATLAB software implements the saccade model described in the paper:
W. Dai, I. Selesnick, J.-R. Rizzo, J. Rucker and T. Hudson.
'A parametric model for saccadic eye movement.'
IEEE Signal Processing in Medicine and Biology Symposium (SPMB), December 2016.
DOI: 10.1109/SPMB.2016.7846860.
The saccade model corresponds to the 'main sequence' formula
Vp = eta*(1 - exp(-A/c))
where Vp is the peak saccadic velocity and A is the saccadic amplitude and 'eta' and 'c' are parameters of positive value.
