This guide describes best practices in using eye tracking technology for research in a variety
of disciplines. A basic outline of the anatomy and physiology of the eyes and of eye …

Abstract Models of gaze allocation in complex scenes are derived mainly from studies of
static picture viewing. The dominant framework to emerge has been image salience, where …

We live in a rich, three dimensional world with complex arrangements of meaningful objects.
For decades, however, theories of visual attention and perception have been based on …

The recent study of overt attention during complex scene viewing has emphasized
explaining gaze behavior in terms of image properties and image salience independently of …

influencing gaze allocation during free viewing of dynamic scenes has reported that the …

When people look for things in the environment, they use target templates—mental
representations of the objects they are attempting to locate—to guide attention and to assess …

Two contrasting views of visual attention in scenes are the visual salience and the cognitive
relevance hypotheses. They fundamentally differ in their conceptualization of the …

During mind wandering, visual processing of external information is attenuated. Accordingly,
mind wandering is associated with changes in gaze behaviors, albeit findings are …

The way the cognitive system scans the visual environment for relevant information–visual
search in short–has been a long-standing central topic in vision science. From its inception …

Nonreading tasks that share some (but not all) of the task demands of reading have often
