Pupil size reflects the focus of feature-based attention.
We measured pupil size in adult human subjects while they selectively attended to one of two surfaces, bright and dark, defined by coherently moving dots. The two surfaces were presented at the same location; therefore, subjects could select the cued surface only on the basis of its features. With no luminance change in the stimulus, we find that pupil size was smaller when the bright surface w...
متن کاملA New IRIS Segmentation Method Based on Sparse Representation
Iris recognition is one of the most reliable methods for identification. In general, itconsists of image acquisition, iris segmentation, feature extraction and matching. Among them, iris segmentation has an important role on the performance of any iris recognition system. Eyes nonlinear movement, occlusion, and specular reflection are main challenges for any iris segmentation method. In thi...

متن کاملFixation duration surpasses pupil size as a measure of memory load in free viewing
Oculomotor behavior reveals, not only the acquisition of visual information at fixation, but also the accumulation of information in memory across subsequent fixations. Two candidate measures were considered as indicators of such dynamic visual memory load: fixation duration and pupil size. While recording these measures, we displayed an arrangement of 3, 4 or 5 targets among distractors. Both ...
متن کاملThe Mind-Writing Pupil: A Human-Computer Interface Based on Decoding of Covert Attention through Pupillometry
We present a new human-computer interface that is based on decoding of attention through pupillometry. Our method builds on the recent finding that covert visual attention affects the pupillary light response: Your pupil constricts when you covertly (without looking at it) attend to a bright, compared to a dark, stimulus. In our method, participants covertly attend to one of several letters wit...
