DETECTION OF SACCADIC EYE MOVEMENTS USING THE ORDER STATISTIC CONSTANT FALSE ALARM RATE TECHNIQUE

摘要

A saccade detection method built upon the order statistic constant false alarm rate technique was applied to the detection of saccadic eye movements from electro-oculographic signals. The technique is based on the adaptive thresholding approach, in which the sensitivity of the detector is adjusted according to the observed signal in order to achieve a constant false alarm rate. The investigated method is capable of sequential detection of saccades, can operate in the presence of noise, can be implemented in a computationally efficient manner, and can operate autonomously without user assistance. Therefore, it finds potential use in applications that comprise analysis of electro-oculographic signals.
