Adult's eyes trigger shifts of visual attention in human infants

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to determine whether attention shifts in infants are triggered by the shifting of an adult's eyes. A digitized adult face was used to manipulate the direction of perceived gaze. Attention shifts were assessed by the accuracy and latency of saccades to subsequent peripheral probes. Results indicate that infants as young as three months can shift attention to the direction of the perceived gaze.

Eye movement reveal the spatiotemporal dynamics of visual search

Article Abstract:

Spatiotemporal dynamics research shows that eye movements target on progressively reducing object sizes using a binary search technique. Oculomotor averaging movements analysis indicates that a parallel search process is accompanied by serial search techniques in target definition. Free-eye and fixed-eye task measurements are given in relation to mean percentage error.
