Pupil Movements of airplane pilots

Pupil responses to continuous aiming movements

Pupillary response is associated with perceptual and cognitive loads in visual and cognitive tasks, but no quantitative link between pupil response and the task workload in visual motor tasks has been confirmed. The objective of this study is to investigate how the changes of task requirement of a visual motor task are reflected by the changes of pupil size. In the present study, a simple conti...

Temperature-induced pupil movements in insect superposition eyes.

In this paper, we describe the hitherto largely overlooked effect of temperature on the pupil of insect compound eyes. In the turnip moth Agrotis segetum and in two other nocturnal insects with superposition eyes, the lacewing Euroleon nostras and the codling moth Cydia pomonella, the pupil not only opens and closes with changes in the ambient light level, as expected, but also with changes in ...

Changes of Eye Movement and Pupil Diameter of Pilots during Final Approach Changements Du Mouvement De L'oeil Et Du Diamètre De La Pupille Des Pilots Durant

Methods: Six male pilots participated in traffic pattern flight in a flight simulator. A head-mounted SIM-ETG60 eye tracking system was conducted in measuring total amount of eye movement and average of pupil diameter in five different flight phases, which contained last 10 s of cruise on the downwind leg, mid 10 s of turn and descend on the base leg, first 10 s, mid 10 s and last 10 s of final...

Measurement of the fixational eye movements based on observation of the eye pupil kinetics

The paper presents measurement method of fast eye movement by use of the high-speed CCD camera, with recording rate 200fps. Sequences of the pupil’s images recorded within 10 seconds were next decomposed into frames and processed numerically. The position of the center of eye pupil were used to describe the eyeball movement during fixation. The calculated results allowed to achieve the goal of ...
