Analysis of Pursuit Tracking Eye Movements in Pilots and Nonfliers

摘要

Pursuit tracking eye movements were recorded and analyzed from a group of AirForce pilots and a group of nonflying Air Force Members. The tracking performance of the pilots was compared to the performance of the nonfliers. Subjects tracked a small spot of light moving sinusoidally in the horizontal plane at frequencies ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 Hz while their eye movements were recorded. An adaptive nonlinear digital filter was used to separate the total tracking response (TTR) into smooth pursuit (SP) and saccadic (SA) components. There were no significant differences in tracking performance between pilots and nonfliers. Eye movements, Smooth pursuit tracking, 0cular tracking, Saccades.
