Integral control in accommodation.
Models of the accommodation system available inthe literature may be classified as proportional controller, optimal bang-bang controller and pure integral controller types. Each of these models explains only some aspects of the experimental behavior of the system and conflicts with other experimental observations. Based on two different experiments in which the built-in phyiological feedback loop has been opened, a leaky-integrator element is proposed for the accommodation controller. This element appears to resolve the conflict between the proportional and integral controller models and also explains the experimental observations better than any of the existing models.
