Hardware-software system for study of complex images’ visual perception during saccadic eye movements in man

1071

Abstract

A hardware-software system for non-invasive oculographic study of visual perception mechanisms and eye movement organization is described. Software creation for instrumental research capable of rapid display change triggered by a certain event on ActionScript 3 programming language is considered in principle. Possible applications are proposed. Psychological context and complex images’ visual perception in prospect are discussed.
