Slow-Fast Decoupling of the Disparity Convergence Eye Movements Dynamics

In this paper we show how to separate the slow and fast dynamics of the disparity convergence of the eye movements dynamic model. The dynamic equations obtained determine the modified slow dynamics that takes into account the impact of the fast dynamics and the modified fast dynamics that takes into account the impact of the slow dynamics. The slow fast decoupling is achieved by finding analytical solutions of the transformation equations used. The transformed slow and fast subsystems have very simple forms. Having separated the slow and fast dynamics completely, neural control problems for the slow and fast eye movements dynamics can be independently studied and better understood.
