Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether microsaccades and pupil diameter can be used to estimate human covert attention when subjects are observing natural scenes. In this experiment, natural images were presented, and eye movements and pupil responses were measured. The analysis focused on microsaccades and gaze time. As a result, the histogram at the angle of microsaccades showed that microsaccades may be attracted to the object of interest. In addition, the rank of the objects of interest was not proportional to the gaze time. This indicates that the factor determining the rank of the objects of interest did not depend on the gaze time.
