This study introduces an infrared oculometer for precise horizontal and vertical eye movement measurement. The system simplifies calibration and has proven effective in animal vision research, including single-cell recordings in monkeys.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Ophthalmology
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Accurate measurement of eye movements is crucial for understanding visual perception and neurological function.
Existing methods for eye tracking may present calibration challenges or limitations in resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel method for measuring horizontal and vertical eye movements using an infrared oculometer.
To detail the system's design, calibration ease, and application in animal studies.

Main Methods:

Utilized infrared light for eye tracking.
Developed an oculometer with 0.1-degree resolution over a +/- 20-degree range.
Integrated infrared mirror and dual television cameras for simultaneous target and eye position monitoring, simplifying calibration.
