Publisher Summary This chapter presents testing of the hypothesis that fixation locations
during scene viewing are primarily determined by visual salience. Eye movements were …

It is generally accepted that salience affects eye movements in simple artificially created
search displays. However, no such consensus exists for eye movements in natural scenes …

Salience-map models have been taken to suggest that the locations of eye fixations are
determined by the extent of the low-level discontinuities in an image. While such models …

Expanding on the seminal work of G. Buswell (1935) and IA Yarbus (1967), we investigated
how task instruction influences specific parameters of eye movement control. In the present …

What attracts attention when we inspect a scene? Two experiments recorded eye
movements while viewers inspected pictures of natural office scenes in which two objects of …

How do sequences of eye fixations match each other when viewing a picture during
encoding and again during a recognition test, and to what extent are fixation sequences …

How do bottom-up and top-down guidance signals combine to guide search behavior?
Observers searched for a target either with or without a preview (top-down manipulation) or …

Recently, there has been great interest among vision researchers in developing
computational models that predict the distribution of saccadic endpoints in naturalistic …

Saliency map models account for a small but significant amount of the variance in where
people fixate, but evaluating these models with natural stimuli has led to mixed results. In the …

While many current models of scene perception debate the relative roles of low-and
highlevel factors in eye guidance, systematic tendencies in how the eyes move may be …
