Characteristics of eye movement and cognition during simulated landing of aircraft.

Full Abstract

Objective. To examine how the subject scans different parts of display panels and how the attention is distributed through the analysis of the eye movement principle and the cognition of the brain. Method. An experiment was conducted to simulate the airplane's landing course and eye movement data were recorded with eye movement measure system (EMMS). Result. There were three regions of interest (ROI) on which the subject's attention was concentrated. The subject's visual activity was active in the three ROIS and attention's shifting and distribution was between ROIS. Conclusion. Eye movement were driven by the top-down processing and the distribution of the attention. The consequence of the eye movement makes the subject maintain a continuous situation awareness.
