Abstract(s)

An individual’s ability to see and function visually is determined largely by the relative contributions of a number of underlying components of vision designated as visual abilities. These visual abilities are: acuity, visual field, motility, brain functions, and light and color reception others consider also contrast, accommodation, and binocular vision. It is through the conjugated movement of the two eyes that we can fix and pursue one object. The ocular movements and the binocular vision are linked and they are influenced mutually. The measurement device most often used for measuring eye movements is commonly known as an eye tracker. Objective: To characterize the signal having into account the type of ocular movement that means saccadic and fixation movements. Habitually, the objective of the analysis is to locate regions where the signal brusquely changes position, indicating the end of the fixation and the beginning of the saccade. Later the signal assumes a stationary position, indicating the beginning of a new fixation.
