Eye Movements are typically divided into fixations and Saccades , when the eye gaze pauses in a certain position, and when it moves to another position, respectively. The resulting series of fixations and saccades is called a Scanpath . Most information from the eye is made available during a fixation, but not during a saccade. The central one or two degrees of the visual angle (the Fovea ) provide the bulk of visual information; the input from larger eccentricities (the periphery) is less informative. Hence, the locations of fixations along a scanpath show what information loci on the stimulus were processed during an eye tracking session. Most people cannot make a conscious saccade in less than 200 milliseconds. Scanpaths are useful for analyzing cognitive intent, interest, and salience. Other biological factors (some as simple as gender) may affect the scanpath as well. Eye tracking in HCI typically investigates the scanpath for usability purposes, or as a method of input in Gaze-contingent Displays or Gaze-based Interfaces . REFERENCES Rayner, K.
