This volume brings together recent, high-quality eye-movement research from many different disciplines and, in doing so, presents a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in eye-movement research.

    Sections include the history of eye-movement research, physiological and clinical studies of eye movements, transsaccadic integration, computational modelling of eye movements, reading, spoken language processing, attention and scene perception, and eye-movements in natural environments.
    • Includes recent research from a variety of disciplines
    • Divided into sections based on topic areas, with an overview chapter beginning each section
    • Through the study of eye movements we can learn about the human mind, and eye movement recording has become the method of choice in many disciplines
