Application of the Cell Averaging Constant False Alarm Rate Technique to Saccade Detection in Electro-oculography

The cell averaging constant false alarm rate technique was applied to the detection of saccades from electro- oculographic signals. The investigated saccade detection method achieves constant false alarm rate by adjusting its sensitivity according to the average noise level in the observed signal. Excluding the choice of certain parameters and initialisation, the method can operate autonomously without user assistance. The method is computationally efficient and capable of sequential detection of saccades. Therefore, it is suitable for both real-time and non-real-time applications.
