Exploiting EEG Signals for Eye Motion Tracking

TL;DR

This paper presents an experimental system that synchronously records EEG signals, gaze direction, and external test events to explore the potential of using EEG for eye motion tracking, aiming to develop automatic eye tracking and educational tools.

Contribution

It introduces a novel experimental setup for EEG-based eye motion tracking, combining EEG, gaze, and test data for the first time in this context.

Findings

EEG signals can be exploited for eye motion tracking.

The system enables automatic eye tracking development.

It serves as educational laboratory equipment.

Abstract

Human eye tracking devices can help to investigate principles of processing visual information by humans. The attention focus movement during the gaze can be used for behavioural analysis of humans. In this work we describe our experimental system that we designed for synchronous recording of electroencephalographic signals, events of external tests and gaze direction. As external tests we used virtual cognitive tests. We investigated the possibility to exploit electroencephalographic signals for eye motion tracking. Our experimental system is a first step for the designing an automatic eye tracking system and can additionally be used as a laboratory equipment for teaching students.
