1. Gaze exclusively on task-relevant objects (see Land chapter)
2. Eyes deal with one object at a time, corresponding to the duration of the manipulation.(Land: object-related actions)
3. Tight linkage between location of gaze and information needed at that moment. (Just-in-time strategy)

Why do we move our eyes?
- Image stabilization
- Information acquisition

The Eye and Retina
![Page 7: Eye movements: Lab # 1 - Catching a ball](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816421550346895dd5e1dd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cone Photoreceptors are densely packed in the central fovea
![Page 8: Eye movements: Lab # 1 - Catching a ball](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816421550346895dd5e1dd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Visual Acuity matches photoreceptor density

Why do we move our eyes?
1. To bring objects of interest onto high acuity region in fovea.
![Page 10: Eye movements: Lab # 1 - Catching a ball](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816421550346895dd5e1dd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why eye movements are hard to measure.
18mm
0.3mm = 1 deg visual angle
x a
tan(a/2) = x/da = 2 tan-1 x/d
Visual Angle
d
1 diopter = 1/focal length in meters
55 diopters = 1/.018
A small eye rotation translates into a big change in visual angle

Types of Eye Movement
Information Gathering StabilizingVoluntary (attention) Reflexive
Saccades vestibular ocular reflex (vor)new location, high velocity, ballistic body movements
Smooth pursuit optokinetic nystagmus (okn)object moves, velocity, slow whole field image motion
Vergencechange point of fixation in depthslow, disjunctive (eyes rotate in opposite directions)(all others are conjunctive)
Fixation: period when eye is relatively stationary between saccades.

How do we use our eyes to catch balls?What information the the brain need?
Neurophysiological experiments look at singlemovements in response to flashes of light.

Eye movements in cricket:
Batsman anticipate bounce point
Better batsman arrive earlier

Photoreceptors ganglion cells LGN
Primary visual cortex other cortical areas
mid-brain brain stem muscles
Why are eye movements predictive?
Analysis of visual signals takes a lot of time!
Round trip from eye to brain to muscles takes a minumumof 200 msec. Cricket ball only takes about 600 msec.Prediction gets around the problem of sensory delays.
![Page 22: Eye movements: Lab # 1 - Catching a ball](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816421550346895dd5e1dd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Is prediction seen in cricket a general property of behavior, or onlyseen in skilled performance like cricket or baseball?

Unexpected bounce leads to poor performance, particularly in thepursuit movement after the bounce.
Implications of this?
![Page 27: Eye movements: Lab # 1 - Catching a ball](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816421550346895dd5e1dd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

After three trials, pursuit has improved a lot.
Implications of this?

Different pattern of eye movements when watching (earlier, no pursuit).
Implications of this?

1. What are the questions?• Is the behavior observed by Land in cricket also true for a simple task
like catching a ball?• What eye movements are made in this case?• Do subjects anticipate the bounce point? By how much? Does it
correlate with performance?• Do Subjects look at floor or above the bounce point?• What happens after bounce? • How do subjects adjust to different balls?• …..• Similarity between individuals? • When do the hands start to move?
• 2. Choice of task:• Catching and throwing a ball.
• 3. Procedure:• Select subject and calibrate eye tracker. Three people stand at equal
distances apart and throw the ball back and forth, with a bounce in the trajectory. Need to measure this distance.
• First throw in a predictable manner, about10 times.• Then use a different ball,10 trials.• Other balls…• Compare one versus two eyes???
![Page 34: Eye movements: Lab # 1 - Catching a ball](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816421550346895dd5e1dd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
2. Data analysis• Label your tape. Play it frame-by-frame on the VCR in the lab. • ….
• What to look for:– Describe eye movements sequence for each trial
• eg Trial 1: fixate near hands/saccade to bounce point/fixate/track portion of trajectory/fixate for last part of trajectory (??)
• Trial 2: fixate near hands/saccade to bounce point/fixate/track portion of trajectory/fixate for last part of trajectory (??)
• ….• B How regular is the sequence of movements?• C What is the timing of the saccades/fixations/tracking relative to movement of the
ball. How much do subjects anticipate the bounce point, if at all?• D. How accurate are fixations near the bounce point? (Need to measure visual angle.)
– Compare different conditions.– What happens with the different balls? Do the eye movements change with
additional experience? How quickly do they adjust?
• Other Aspects:– Compare timing of eye and head movements?– When do hands start to move, relative to release of ball?– How similar are different individuals? Where would we expect similarities/
differences?
• What is the role of the pursuit movement? If pursuit is made only on final bounce, implies pursuit is used to guide hands. Maybe position of eye in head.
• Binocular information versus monocular (looming)
