Dear Chris and Raphael,
Among many other good books in that area, I personally like these:
General scientific background of the human vision system:
Hendee, W., Wells, P. Ed.: The Perception of Visual Information; Springer,
New York 1993
"Human knowledge is primarily the product of experiences acquired through
interactions of our senses with our surrounding. Of all senses, vision is
the one relied on most heaviliy...With our strong dependence on the
processes of visual interactions, we might assume that they are well
charactericed and understood. Nothing could be further from thruth"
General scientific background about higher cognitive concepts of vision,
escpecially Stark's scanpath theory:
Zangemeister, W.H. ; Stiehl; Freska Ed.: Visual Attention and Cognition;
Elsevier Science, 1996
"... an internal cognitive model must represent the external world fairly
accurately or our species would have gone belly-up like the dinosaurs! "
[Stark & Choi 1996]
One of the fundamental papers of eye tracking, with case studies in the
aviation domain:
Senders, J.W.: Visual Sampling Processes; Dissertation, Katholieke
Hoogeschool Tilburg, Niederlande, 1983
"The eye is both a servomechanism and a mecanisme de cerveau.
And sometimes it does its own thing and somtimes it goes
Where the brain wants it to go
The eyes are the window to the mind and the mind's window
To the scene
So that one is never quite sure whether it's the world or
The mind that makes the eye shift to where it's going
From where it's been.
You can watch the eyes and catch the thought
While it's so hot that even the mind hasn't had it yet.
With a mind of its own the eye looks at the place best calculated
To let the mind's eye see what the mind wants to see;
And then all the world rushes in to be reduced
To common sense and percept before the next saccade is loosed"
Good luck and fun
Frank
