When we view the visual world, our eyes flit from one location to another about three times each second. These frequent changes in gaze direction result from very fast saccadic eye movements. Useful visual information is acquired only during fixations, periods of relative gaze stability. Gaze control is defined as the process of directing fixation through a scene in real time in the service of ...

Gaze perception has received considerable research attention due to its importance in social interaction. The majority of recent studies have utilized monoscopic pictorial gaze stimuli. However, a monoscopic direct gaze differs from a live or stereoscopic gaze. In the monoscopic condition, both eyes of the observer receive a direct gaze, whereas in live and stereoscopic conditions, only one eye...

The interpretation of interpersonal gaze behavior requires the use of complex cognitive processes and guides social interactions. Among a variety of different gaze characteristics, gaze direction and gaze duration modulate crucially the meaning of the "social gaze". Nevertheless, prior neuroimaging studies disregarded the relevance of gaze duration by focusing on gaze direction only. The presen...

Gaze and freehand gestures suit Augmented Reality as users can interact with objects at a distance without need for separate input device. We propose Gaze-Hand Alignment novel multimodal selection principle, defined by concurrent use of both gaze hand pointing alignment their on an object trigger. naturally precedes manual action is leveraged pre-selection, crossing pre-selected target complete...

children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd) react explosively and inappropriately to emotional stimuli. it could be hypothesized that these children have some impairment in attending to emotional cues. based on this hypothesis, we conducted this study to evaluate visual directions of children with adhd towards paired emotional scenes.thirty boys between the ages of 6 and 11 ye...

Attending to where others are looking is thought to be of great adaptive benefit for animals when avoiding predators and interacting with group members. Many animals have been reported to respond to the gaze of others, by co-orienting their gaze with group members (gaze following) and/or responding fearfully to the gaze of predators or competitors (i.e., gaze aversion). Much of the literature h...
