The Interaction Between Vision and Eye Movements.

An Experimental Study on Blinking and Eye Movement Detection via EEG Signals for Human-Robot Interaction Purposes Based on a Spherical 2-DOF Parallel Robot

Blinking and eye movement are one of the most important abilities that most people have, even people with spinal cord problem. By using this ability these people could handle some of their activities such as moving their wheelchair without the help of others. One of the most important fields in Human-Robot Interaction is the development of artificial limbs working with brain signals. The purpos...

Investigating Natural Image Pleasantness Recognition using Deep Features and Eye Tracking for Loosely Controlled Human-computer Interaction

This paper revisits recognition of natural image pleasantness by employing deep convolutional neural networks and affordable eye trackers. There exist several approaches to recognize image pleasantness: (1) computer vision, and (2) psychophysical signals. For natural images, computer vision approaches have not been as successful as for abstract paintings and is lagging behind the psychophysical...

The Interaction between Human Vision and Eye Movements in Health and Disease

The effect of smooth tracking and saccadic eye movements on the perception of size: the shrinking circle illusion.

An illusory distortion is described in which the apparent diameter of the path of a target moving in a circle appears contracted at intermediate speeds. The apparent reduction of path diameter is highly correlated with smooth pursuit behaviour of the eye, and the distortion disappears with the emergence of saccadic movements at higher speeds. In the absence of tracking eye movement the magnitud...

Interaction of perceptually monitored and unmonitored efferent commands for smooth pursuit eye movements.

When observers tracked a horizontally moving spot, the path of a second spot moving at an angle to the horizontal was radically misperceived. At a signal observers abruptly switched to tracking the second spot, which was then stabilized foveally. Data concerning resulting eye movements and perceptions support a distinction between the “central” motor command, which is found to be formulated sol...
