Abstract

Eye, head and gaze movements were measured during driving using a new, portable eye-movement camera. The coupling between head and eye movements was studied. In general the two are closely related, and both are accurately predicted from the size and timing of each saccadic gaze change. When driving round bends three different phases of gaze behavior were apparent. During the approach the eyes seek out clues to the bend's curvature from the changes in the appearance of the road's edge. When rounding the bend the eyes look into the curve, and thus away from the car's heading. During the exit gaze is held on targets beyond the bend, and the car and body counter-rotate beneath the head.
