چکیده

We propose a combined analytical/statistical method to determine an efficient threshold on the dispersion of estimates of the point of gaze (POG) to indicate a user fixation. The experimental data for this study was obtained with an EyeTech TM3 eye gaze tracker (EGT). The experimental protocol to make the user fixate on pre-determined visual targets was implemented using the C language and OpenCV. Subjects first used the system in a training mode, from which an individualized dispersion threshold was obtained. Our approach was verified by applying the individualized threshold to POG data from a second run, in testing mode, with encouraging results.

Evaluation of Attention Bias in Morphine and Methamphetamine Abusers towards Emotional Scenes during Early Abstinence: An Eye-Tracking Study

Introduction: We hypothesized that inappropriate attention during the period of abstinence in individuals with substance use disorder can result in an inadequate perception of emotion and unsuitable reaction to emotional scenes. The main aim of this research was to evaluate the attentional bias towards emotional images in former substance abusers and compare it to healthy adults. Methods:...

A New Method for Eye Detection in Color Images

The problem of eye detection in face images is very important for a large number of applications ranging from face recognition to gaze tracking. In this paper we propose a new algorithm for eyes detection. First, the face region is extracted from the image by skin-color information. Second, horizontal projection in image is used to approximate region of the eye be obtained . At last, the eye ce...

Direct and Indirect Measures of Attention Indicate a Bias Toward Cues in Methamphetamine Users

Introduction:This study aims to investigate the attentional bias toward drug-related stimuli along with subjective craving after encountering such stimuli in methamphetamine users. Studies of cue reactivity have confirmed bias in attention and gaze to drug-related stimuli for most substances, but methamphetamine drugs are less studied by a direct measure such as eye tracking. Methods:Thirty ma...

Atypical Gaze Behavior in Children with High Functioning Autism During an Active Balance Task

Background. Unusual gaze behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was reported very early in the literature. Objectives. The current study examined gaze behavior in children with ASD and typically developing (TD) children while performing an active balance task on the Wii balance board. Methods: 8 children (male) diagnosed with high-functioning ASD and 9 TD children (3 female, ...
