Abstract :
A portable eye movement camera is described which allows eye, head and gaze movements to be determined during driving and other activities. Eye and head movements at intersections are closely related, and both are accurately predicted by the size and timing of each gaze change. When driving round bends each phase has different gaze movements associated with it. During the approach the eyes typically seek out clues to the bend´s curvature; during the bend they are directed into the curve, and away from the car´s heading; and during the exit gaze is held on targets beyond the bend, with the car and body counter-rotating beneath the head
