  2. Eye movement in reading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movement_in_reading

    Eye tracking device is a tool created to help measure eye and head movements. The first devices for tracking eye movement took two main forms: those that relied on a mechanical connection between participant and recording instrument, and those in which light or some other form of electromagnetic energy was directed at the participant's eyes and its reflection measured and recorded.

  3. Subvocalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subvocalization

    Subvocalization has been considered as far back as 1868. [2] Only in 1899 did an experiment take place to record movement of the larynx through silent reading by a researcher named H.S. Curtis, [ 5 ] who concluded that silent reading was the only mental activity that created considerable movement of the larynx.

  4. Electrooculography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrooculography

    Electrooculography ( EOG) is a technique for measuring the corneo-retinal standing potential that exists between the front and the back of the human eye. The resulting signal is called the electrooculogram. Primary applications are in ophthalmological diagnosis and in recording eye movements. Unlike the electroretinogram, the EOG does not ...

  5. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    A distant object is defined as an object located beyond 6 meters (20 feet) from the eye. When an object is located close to the eye, the rays of light from this object no longer approach the eye parallel to each other. Consequently, the eye must increase its refractive power to bring those rays of light together on the retina.

  6. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The eye's lens becomes too inflexible to accommodate to normal reading distance, focus tending to remain fixed at long distance. Glaucoma is a type of blindness that begins at the edge of the visual field and progresses inward. It may result in tunnel vision. This typically involves the outer layers of the optic nerve, sometimes as a result of ...

  7. Eye movement in music reading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movement_in_music_reading

    A piano trio comprising a pianist, violinist and cellist. Chamber groups traditionally perform publicly from score rather than from memory. Eye movement in music reading is the scanning of a musical score by a musician's eyes. This usually occurs as the music is read during performance, although musicians sometimes scan music silently to study it.

  8. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    Aberration of normal eyes. In normal population the dominant aberrations are the ordinary second-order spherocylindrical focus errors, which are called refractive errors. Higher order aberrations are a relatively small component, comprising about 10% of the eye's total aberrations. [ 3] High order aberrations increase with age and mirror ...

  9. Vestibulo–ocular reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibulo–ocular_reflex

    The result is a compensatory movement of the eyes. The vestibulo-ocular reflex ( VOR) is a reflex that acts to stabilize gaze during head movement, with eye movement due to activation of the vestibular system, it is also known as the Cervico-ocular reflex. The reflex acts to stabilize images on the retinas of the eye during head movement.
