Considers the influence of the degree of extraversion on the perception of digital information by aviation operators. The analysis of the results of solving the Schulte tables by the test subjects on the NS-Psychotest hardware complex based on the recording of the eye track, performed using a stationary eye tracking device RED250mobile eye tracking device was carried out. While performing the search function, the number of saccadic movements, their amplitude, and the search time for a given digital value were registered. It has been revealed, that introverts during realization eyes search function perform less saccadic movements and spend less time on it than extraverts do. Significant differences have been found during resolving search tasks depending on degree of extraversion. Some interconnections of extension the latent period of the saccade with complication of solving process the cognitive problem were also found. It was found out, that increase in speed of saccadic movements of eyes leads to low efficiency of results of search task execution. Results of conducted research emphasize value of individual approach to medical flight service taking into account psychological features of flight crew in conditions of rapid progress in aviation technologies and means of visualisation of flight information. The obtained data reveal some features of information perception by operators of complex ergatic systems, the study of which in the future will help to maintain the reserves of attention in a continuous stream of incoming data, and thereby reduce the load on the visual analyzer and increase the reliability of professional activities of flight crew.

When a flight crew has situation awareness they have a complete and accurate understanding of the physical, temporal and emotional environments in which they are situated. This allows the flight crew to interpret and evaluate elements or events in the environment in which they are situated and determine the risks associated with these events and an appropriate strategy to minimize and manage these risks. This paper describes the architecture for an intelligent software agent which assesses a flight crew’s situation awareness through the observation of a pilot’s eye movements. The agent perceives pilot behavior using a proprietary eye tracking device. This behavior is compared to a behavior database to decide whether the behavior of the pilot is appropriate or inappropriate in terms of the safety of the flight. The flight crew is alerted if the behavior is judged to be consistent with the flight crew losing situation awareness.

The rapid development of aviation technology entails the need to increase the quality of ergonomic support. This is due to the fact that for the safe implementation of activities, the pilot has to use the entire amount of attention, not rarely, at the limit of his capabilities. The color of the instrument scales, the contrast of the information feed, and other information perception conditions can significantly complicate the evaluation of the flight instrument readings. This is especially true with the transition of most modern aircraft from analog display of instrument readings to digital. The study examines the features of perception of digital information by operators of aviation profile with different color background of the stimulus material. The analysis of the results of the solution by operators of 3 Schulte tables and 3 SchultePlatonov tables on the combined hardware complex NS-Psychotest with the system of fixing the coordinates of the eye-stationary eye tracking RED250mobile eye tracking device. When performing the eye search function, the number of visual fixations and the task completion time were calculated. It was found that when searching for digital values on Schulte tables with a white background, the number of eye fixations was less than when performing a similar task on black-and-red SchultePlatonov tables. Accordingly, it also took less time to solve black-and-white tables. A trend was found showing that the search for digital values represented in the SchultePlatonov tables on a red background was carried out by operators faster than on a black background. Further study of this topic can contribute to the development of proposals for ergonomic support of aircraft, which in turn will help to maintain the reserves of attention of operators in a continuous stream of incoming data (2 figures, 1 table, bibliography: 13 refs).

Optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) is an involuntary eye movement induced by motion of a large proportion of the visual field. It consists of a “slow phase (SP)” with eye movements in the same direction as the movement of the pattern and a “fast phase (FP)” with saccadic eye movements in the opposite direction. Study of OKN can reveal valuable information in ophthalmology, neurology and psychology. However, the current commercially available high-resolution and research-grade eye tracker is usually expensive. Methods & Results: We developed a novel fast and effective system combined with a low-cost eye tracking device to accurately quantitatively measure OKN eye movement. Conclusions: The experimental results indicate that the proposed method achieves fast and promising results in comparisons with several traditional approaches.

Hiking is a very popular outdoor activity, and has led to an exponential increase in the number of visitors to natural spaces. The objective of this study was to analyze the circulation pattern of visitors to the Caminito del Rey trail, based on the three zones into which the trail can be divided. The sample consisted of 1582 hikers distributed into three different profiles. Of these, 126 utilized an eye-tracking device during the hike, while, for the rest (1456), only their travel speed along the trail was recorded. The use of eye tracking devices identified a greater number of interesting landscapes located in zones 1 and 3 of the trail, and it was observed that the mean travel speed was greater for zone 2 (42.31 m/min) (p < 0.01). Additionally, when the three different visitor profiles were analyzed, significant differences were found between the mean travel speeds according to sectors (p < 0.05). This information is crucial for more efficient management of the trail, as it allows for the development of measures to control and regulate the flow of visitors according to zone, and the design of additional strategies to increase the awareness of the hiker about specific areas of the hike.

This is an eye-tracking study examining the effects of image segmentation and target number on visual search performance. A two-way repeated-measures computer-based visual search test was used for data collection. Thirty students participated in the test, in which they were asked to search for all of the Landolt Cs in 80 arrays of closed rings. The dependent variables were search time, accuracy, fixation count, and average fixation duration. Our principal findings were that some of the segmentation methods significantly improved accuracy, and reduced search time, fixation count, and average fixation duration, compared with the no-segmentation condition. Increased target number was found to be associated with longer search time, lower accuracy, more fixations, and longer average fixation duration. Our study indicates that although visual search tasks with multiple targets are relatively difficult, the visual search accuracy and efficiency can potentially be improved with the aid of image segmentation.
