Electro-oculograph
researches in Japan
A. Ohtani |
Recent
Japanese studies applying electro-oculography (EOG) to various psychological
fields were reviewed. Tune characteristics of saccadic movements
were analyzed by EOG, because it is suitable for measuring frequency
of eye movements. Saccadic movements might be classified into involuntary,
voluntary and fixative movements having different distributions of
time interval. For the sake of needlessness of any light source far
recording, EOG is applied to studies in sleeping hyponotized or eye
closing subjects. Arousal level of subject was highly correlated
to pattern of eye movements. EOG is also applied widely to practical
problems especially in visual tasks. Some comments were stated about
future researches of eye movement and EOG.
