The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of visual attention on the dynamics of drift eye movements objectively. We proposed a signal processing method to separate drift eye movements and microsaccades from fixation eye movements in the experiments which control attentional concentration to the foveal region, and compared the properties of extracted drift eye movements between the conditions of attentional intensities. In our method, microsaccades are detected by using an order-statistic low-pass differentiation filter. The start- and end-point of each microsaccades is discriminated by a discrete pulse transform analysis, then microsaccades are removed from the data. These gaps are filling through the use of an autoregressive model to extract pure drift eye movements. After the extraction of drift eye movements, we analyzed the frequency components and mean-square displacements to examine the fluctuation properties of the drifts. As results, drift eye movements were not influenced by the foveal attention allocation, rather affected by diffusing attention to the peripheral visual field. |
