Eye movements introduce large artifacts to electroencephalographic recordings (EEG) and thus render data analysis difficult or even impossible. Trials contaminated by eye movement and blink artifacts have to be discarded, hence in standard EEG-paradigms subjects are required to fixate on the screen. To overcome this restriction, several correction methods including regression and blind source s...

Communication is one of the main elements in the educational process and the non-verbal communication including eye blink, which is one of the key non-verbal method, owns the highest portion of the communication. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the role of eye blink in the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). The eye blink is introduced in the VLE and the role of the eye blinking in t...

Electrooculography (EOG) signal is one of the useful electro-physiological signals. The EOG signals provide information about eye movements that can be used as a control signal in human-computer interface (HCI). Usually, eight-directional movements, including up, down, right, left, up-right, up-left, down-right and down-left, are proposed. Development of the EOG signal classification has been s...

The Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a biological signal that represents the electrical activity of the brain. Artifacts in EEG signals are caused by various factors, like line interference, EOG (electro-oculogram) and ECG (electrocardiogram). The removal of artifact from scalp EEGs is of considerable importance for analysis of underlying brainwave activity. The presence of artifacts such as muscl...

In this article, we develop a real-time mobile phone-based gaze tracking and eye-blink detection system on Android platform. Our eye-blink detection scheme is developed based on the time difference between two open eye states. We develop our system by finding the greatest circle—pupil of an eye. So we combine the both Haar classifier and Normalized Summation of Square of Difference template-mat...

Neuronal activity was recorded in the dorsal accessory inferior olive in infant rats during classical conditioning of the eye-blink response. The percentage and amplitude of eye-blink conditioned responses (CRs) increased as a function of age. The magnitude of the neuronal response to the unconditioned stimulus (US) decreased with age. There were also age-specific modifications of US-elicited i...

Many biological signal analyses have been proceeded in various research fields. In particular, electroencephalographic (EEG) signal analyses have attracted attention because the EEG signal includes a mixture of endogenous brain activities. However, the EEG signal is often mixed physiological artifacts such as the eye blinking, oculogyration, heart beat, or muscle activity. Specifically, humans ...

Nowadays, people spend more time in front of electronic screens like computers, laptops, TV screens, mobile phones or tablets which cause eye blink frequency to decrease. Each blink spreads the tears on the eye cornea to moisture and disinfect the eye. Reduced blink rate causes eye redness and dryness also known as Dry Eye, which belongs to the major symptoms of the Computer Vision Syndrome. Th...
