Topic: fixation duration

Eye movements are known to be driven by stimulus features (e.g., saliency). However, spatiotemporal dynamics of eye movements are remarkably stable within an individual. In a previous study, we recorded eye movements from 120 participants in a free-viewing task. Three principal components explained 60% of the variance of the data. The first principal component (PC1) loaded on fixation duration, and subjects could be clustered in two different visual exploration phenotypes: “static” and “dynamic” viewers. In a second EEG resting-state study on the same sample, carried out one year later, static
