An Introduction to Eye-Movement Research  

There are fundamentally different types of eye movements, 
such as saccades and tremor. In the present talk, I describe
the most important types, their characteristics, and their 
functions. Subsequently, the use of eye-movement recording 
for cognitive science research is motivated, followed by a
description of various recording devices. The idea behind 
these systems and theiradvantages/disadvantages are discussed.
Finally, I provide some examples of basic eye-movement studies
demonstrating the insight into cognitive processes provided
by eye-movement recording.
