    Visual search habits and the spatial structure of scenes

    Some spatial layouts may suit our visual search habits better than others. We compared eye movements during search across three spatial configurations. Participants searched for a line segment oriented 45 to the...

    The role of attention in eye-movement awareness

    People are unable to accurately report on their own eye movements most of the time. Can this be explained as a lack of attention to the objects we fixate? Here, we elicited eye-movement errors using the classi...

    The effect of visualization on visual search performance

    Striking results recently demonstrated that visualizing search for a target can facilitate visual search for that target on subsequent trials (Reinhart et al. 2015). This visualization benefit was even greater th...

    Training Object Class Detectors from Eye Tracking Data

    Training an object class detector typically requires a large set of images annotated with bounding-boxes, which is expensive and time consuming to create. We propose novel approach to annotate object locations...
