GMU:Max and the World/F.Z. Aygüler: Difference between revisions

In the second video, you see me looking at my room while tracking my eye movements. During the quarantine, I have stayed at my family house and spent most of my time in my childhood bedroom. I had many moments when my eyes were darting around trying to pull the answer out of my head or searching for a long term memory. Although predominantly externally triggered by the vision, eye movements also occur in cognitive activities. This pattern of eye movement is mostly related to internal thought processes and don’t generally serve visual processing. It is called ‘nonvisual eye movements’ or ‘stimulus independent eye movement’ in most of the recent studies. Why people move their eyes when they are thinking or  searching for a long term memory is not clear.  

Later on this page, you will find some useful information regarding the basic types of eye  movements, historic findings of Alfred Yarbus and a few sentences about the eye tracking technology used today. You will also find the patches I used in this class work at the end of the page.
