    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Neurophysiology
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Electroencephalography (EEG) and eye tracking are established yet independently developed methods in cognitive neuroscience.
    • Limited research exists on integrating EEG and eye-tracking data for cognitive state analysis.
    • Microsaccades, a specific eye movement, have potential for analyzing cognitive activity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the utility of microsaccades in conjunction with EEG for assessing cognitive activity.
    • To correlate event-related potentials (ERPs) with microsaccades during tasks of varying complexity and visual degradation.
    • To develop and validate an algorithm for microsaccade detection during complex tasks.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized EEG to record brain activity and eye tracking to monitor eye movements, specifically microsaccades.
    • Developed a modified eye-movement algorithm to accurately identify microsaccades amidst blinks and regular saccades.
    • Compared ERPs time-locked to microsaccade onset with those time-locked to stimulus onset.

    Main Results:

    • Established a clear correlation between ERP activations and microsaccade onset in terms of both latency and spatial distribution.
    • Demonstrated that microsaccade-locked ERPs provide valuable information about cognitive processing.
    • Showcased the effectiveness of the modified algorithm in detecting microsaccades during demanding tasks.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating EEG and microsaccade analysis offers a promising non-invasive approach to studying cognitive workload, attention, and fatigue.
    • Microsaccades serve as reliable indicators of cognitive states, particularly when analyzed with high-resolution EEG.
    • This combined methodology enhances the understanding of complex cognitive tasks and their neural underpinnings.
