Area of Science:

Cognitive Psychology
Neuroscience
Computer Vision

Background:

Traditional scene perception research uses static images and restricted head movement, limiting real-world applicability.
Advancements in mobile eye-tracking and image processing enable more naturalistic experimental setups while maintaining laboratory control.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate eye movements during naturalistic scene exploration under controlled conditions.
To assess the impact of task instructions on spatial and temporal eye movement parameters.
To evaluate the efficacy of mobile eye-tracking for studying fine-scaled task dependencies in perception.

Main Methods:

Participants explored projected images while standing, with eye movements recorded using mobile eye-tracking devices.
Gaze data were transformed from head-centered to image-centered coordinates for analysis.
Four distinct task instructions were employed to elicit varied viewing behaviors.

Main Results:

Significant differences in temporal and spatial eye movement parameters were observed across tasks.
A task-dependent bias in image fixation, particularly towards the center, was identified.
Mobile eye-tracking facilitated the detection of subtle, task-specific variations in visual attention.

Conclusions:

Mobile eye-tracking technology, combined with controlled experimental designs, offers a viable method for studying naturalistic scene perception.
This approach bridges the gap between laboratory findings and real-world visual behavior.
Future research can leverage this methodology to explore complex visual cognition in more ecologically valid settings.
