Eye tracking cognitive load using pupil diameter and microsaccades with fixed gaze

K Krejtz, AT Duchowski, A Niedzielska, C Biele, I Krejtz - PloS one, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Pupil diameter and microsaccades are captured by an eye tracker and compared for their
suitability as indicators of cognitive load (as beset by task difficulty). Specifically, two metrics …

The low/high index of pupillary activity

AT Duchowski, K Krejtz, NA Gehrer, T Bafna… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
A novel eye-tracked measure of pupil diameter oscillation is derived as an indicator of
cognitive load. The new metric, termed the Low/High Index of Pupillary Activity (LHIPA), is …

Measuring the task-evoked pupillary response with a remote eye tracker

J Klingner, R Kumar, P Hanrahan - … of the 2008 symposium on Eye …, 2008 - dl.acm.org
The pupil-measuring capability of video eye trackers can detect the task-evoked pupillary

The Index of Pupillary Activity: Measuring Cognitive Load vis-à-vis Task Difficulty with Pupil Oscillation

AT Duchowski, K Krejtz, I Krejtz, C Biele… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
A novel eye-tracked measure of the frequency of pupil diameter oscillation is proposed for
capturing what is thought to be an indicator of cognitive load. The proposed metric, termed …

Working memory load modulates microsaccadic rate

M Dalmaso, L Castelli, P Scatturin… - Journal of vision, 2017 - jov.arvojournals.org
Microsaccades are tiny eye movements that individuals perform unconsciously during
fixation. Despite that the nature and the functions of microsaccades are still lively debated …

Task difficulty in mental arithmetic affects microsaccadic rates and magnitudes

E Siegenthaler, FM Costela… - European Journal of …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Microsaccades are involuntary, small‐magnitude saccadic eye movements that occur during
attempted visual fixation. Recent research has found that attention can modulate …

The index of cognitive activity as a measure of cognitive processing load in dual task settings

J Vogels, V Demberg, J Kray - Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 - frontiersin.org

Pupil sizes scale with attentional load and task experience in a multiple object tracking task

B Wahn, DP Ferris, WD Hairston, P König - PloS one, 2016 - journals.plos.org
Previous studies have related changes in attentional load to pupil size modulations.
However, studies relating changes in attentional load and task experience on a finer scale to …

Analyzing the pupil response due to increased cognitive demand: An independent component analysis study

S Jainta, T Baccino - International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2010 - Elsevier
Pupillometry is used to indicate the relative extent of processing demands within or between
tasks; however, this analysis is complicated by the fact that the pupil also responds to low …

Modulation of microsaccade rate by task difficulty revealed through between-and within-trial comparisons

X Gao, H Yan, H Sun - Journal of vision, 2015 - jov.arvojournals.org
Microsaccades (MSs) are small eye movements that occur during attempted visual fixation.
While most studies concerning MSs focus on their roles in visual processing, some also …
