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
