The relation of eye fixation patterns with emotional content and episodic memory
L. H. Canto-Pereira, Breno Santos, Edgard Morya, Carlos Hitoshi Morimoto, Ronald Ranvaud · 2006
The focus of visual attention is closely related to eye movements and fixations, while episodic memory has been defined as the ability to be consciously aware of an earlier experience [Bond, 2005]. The role of emotional content plays a crucial role in the ability of recalling a previous event. Here we investigate eye fixation patterns and their spatial distribution using ordinary kriging, a geostatistical interpolation method [Canto-Pereira et al., 2005], in a task where emotion and episodic memory were assessed.
