Eye Movement Research

Eye movement research studies how and why our eyes move, including actions like shifting focus, tracking objects, or scanning a scene. This field helps us understand visual attention, perception, and cognitive processes, revealing how we process information in real time. Researchers use specialized equipment like eye trackers to measure where and for how long we look at specific points. Applications include improving user interface design, reading techniques, diagnosing neurological conditions, and understanding visual attention in natural and controlled environments. Overall, it offers insights into the link between eye movements and mental functions.
