Eye Movements During Visual and Auditory Task Performance

Abstract

The primary focus of this research effort was the tracking of eye movements during complex cognitive tasks. 8 volunteers performed a visual tracking task alone and a combination of the visual task and the auditory Paced Serial Addition Task (PASAT). Results showed a reduction in range on the order of 50% for eye movements and an increase in variability of vergence eye movements during the dual task. This change can be characterized as visual tunneling.
