Combining Visual Information Across Eye Movements
Project Summary
Humans make rapid, ballistic eye movements several times per second and our mental representation of the visual environment is somehow built up from the resulting sequence of views. How accurately do we store information from individual views and how efficiently do we combine information across a sequence of views? These questions are critically important in determining human performance in real-world tasks such as reading, navigation, and visually searching for objects in pictures or scenes. This project will involve developing models of visual integration across multiple eye movements and designing visual experiments to test these models. Among the available tools are an accurate high-speed eye tracking system and software for real-time gaze-contingent updating of the display.
