Summary:
Recent years, researchers have reported that human spontaneous eyeblinks could synchronize in accordance with external visual stimuli. In this paper, to model human eyeblinks, we provided a leaky intergrate-and-fire model with a variable threshold that represents underlying slow oscillation. To test the dynamics of eyeblink likelihood, numerical simulations were performed by changing parameters of the variable threshold. The results demonstrated positively skewed distributions of inter-blink intervals, which were reported in previous behavioral researches. Possible mechanisms of a variety of eyeblinkrelated phenomenon were discussed.
