M-BLASER. A Device to Study Pursuit Tracking in the Rhesus Monkey

摘要

Apparatus was constructed for the study of pursuit tracking in rhesus monkeys. Two rhesus were trained to track successfully a target moving at 5 milliradians (mrad) per sec (0.29 deg per sec) with an accuracy of + or - 7.5 mrad (0.43 deg) for 20 sec. For one monkey, vision was occluded for 1, 2, or 3 sec during a tracking trial. Tracking continued within 7.5 mrad from 0.48 to 3.24 sec. (Author)
