Advances in eye-tracking technology have promoted its widespread use to understand and
improve target searches in psychology, industrial engineering, human factors, medical …

When we scan the environment, view pictures, or read, our eyes move rapidly from point to
point in space several times each second. These rapid eye movements, or saccades, are …

The Area Activation Model (Pomplun, Reingold, Shen, & Williams, 2000) is a computational
model predicting the statistical distribution of saccadic endpoints in visual search tasks. Its …

We investigated whether the deployment of attention in scenes is better explained by visual
salience or by cognitive relevance. In two experiments, participants searched for target …

Observers show a marked tendency to fixate the center of the screen when viewing scenes
on computer monitors. This is often assumed to arise because image features tend to be …

There is accumulating evidence that scene context can guide and facilitate visual search
(eg, A. Torralba, A. Oliva, MS Castelhano, & JM Henderson, 2006). Previous studies utilized …

Inhibition of Return (IOR) is a delay in initiating attentional shifts to previously attended
locations. It is believed to facilitate attentional exploration of a scene. Computational models …

Target objects presented within color images of naturalistic scenes were deleted or rotated
during a saccade to or from the target object or to a control region of the scene. Despite …

An analysis of monkey eye movements in classic conjunction and feature search tasks was
made. The task was to find and fixate a target in an array of stimuli. Saccades targeted …

Humans shift their gaze to a new location several times per second. It is still unclear what
determines where they look next. Fixation behavior is influenced by the low-level salience of …
