review text: There is a long and interesting discussion around the question of what are neural correlates of doing mathematical physics. The references extend to 148 titles on this subject, including authors own publications. The section Blueprint of a Mathematical Physicist introduces a toy model of a mathematical physicist and gives a certain description of the neuroanatomy of visuo-saccadic system. The binding between kinematics of saccades and the optics of the eye is described in the section Listing's Low. Further Sections discuss some computational aspects, the space-time transformation on the superior colliculus and the interaction between vision, attention and saccades. The section Translation Invariance reviews some aspects of implementation and new experimental results. The last Section gives an insight into doing mathematical physics in the brain, an example is analyzed.
