Exploiting EEG Signals for Eye Motion Tracking
This work addresses eye tracking for behavioral analysis in humans, but it is incremental as it describes a preliminary experimental system without proven effectiveness.
The researchers tackled the problem of tracking eye motion by exploring the use of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals, developing an experimental system for synchronous recording of EEG, external test events, and gaze direction, but no concrete results or numbers were reported.
Human eye tracking devices can help to investigate principles of processing visual information by humans. The attention focus movement during the gaze can be used for behavioural analysis of humans. In this work we describe our experimental system that we designed for synchronous recording of electroencephalographic signals, events of external tests and gaze direction. As external tests we used virtual cognitive tests. We investigated the possibility to exploit electroencephalographic signals for eye motion tracking. Our experimental system is a first step for the designing an automatic eye tracking system and can additionally be used as a laboratory equipment for teaching students.
