Gaze and exploration of visual environment

Effects of Gender and Gaze Direction on the Visual Exploration of Male and Female Bodies

The Tardis: A Visual Exploration Environment for Landscape Dynamics

This paper presents the creation of a a visual environment for exploring landscape patterns and changes to such patterns over time. Dynamic landscape patterns can involve both spatial and temporal complexity. Exploration of spatio-temporal landscape patterns should provide the ability to view information at di erent scales to permit navigation of a vast amount of information in a manner that fa...

Salient features in gaze-aligned recordings of human visual input during free exploration of natural environments.

During free exploration, humans adjust their gaze by combining body, head, and eye movements. Laboratory experiments on the stimulus features driving gaze, however, typically focus on eye-in-head movements, use potentially biased stimuli, and restrict the field of view. Our novel wearable eye-tracking system (EyeSeeCam) overcomes these limitations. We recorded gaze- and head-centered videos of ...

Gaze modulation of visual aftereffects

Physiological studies of non-human primates have suggested that the direction of gaze can modulate the gain of neuronal responses to visual stimuli in many cortical areas including V1. The neural gaze modulation is suggested to subserve the conversion from gaze-independent (eye-centered) to dependent (e.g., head-centered) representations. However, it has not been established whether the gaze mo...

Visual gaze selection modeling from visual input

In this work we present a biologically motivated framework for the modeling of the visual scene exploration preference. We aim at capturing the statistical patterns that are elicited by the subjective visual selection and reproduce them via a computational system.
