According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Computer Vision
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Ocular surface health relies on frequent blinking for moisture and tear film renewal.
  • Blinking frequency decreases during tasks with high cognitive and visual demands, common with video display terminal use.
  • Computer-integrated cameras offer potential for monitoring blinking frequency in these environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test an automated algorithm for detecting eye blinks.
  • To evaluate the algorithm's performance in videos of subjects performing computer-based tasks.

Main Methods:

  • The algorithm utilizes a modified, pre-existing eye detection and image processing approach.
  • It involves four stages: eye detection, eye tracking, iris detection and segmentation, and iris height/width ratio assessment.
  • Performance was evaluated using videos captured during various computer tasks.

Main Results:

  • The developed algorithm achieved a sensitivity of 87.54% for blink detection.
  • A mean false-positive rate of 0.19% was recorded.
  • Performance varied based on illumination conditions and computer-user spatial configurations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed automatic eye blink detection algorithm shows promising performance.
  • It can aid in supervising blinking frequency during computer use, potentially addressing ocular surface discomfort.
  • Further refinement may improve accuracy across diverse environmental conditions.
