“…Contrary to other stimuli such as natural images, web pages allow the use of mouse movements and scrolls. As previously described, mouse movements are mostly studied as patterns or trajectories (Rodden et al, 2008;Guo and Agichtein, 2010;Tzafilkou and Protogeros, 2018) and scrolling is sparsely studied (Braganza et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2017;Milisavljevic et al, 2018). Although their respective parameters are mentioned, to our knowledge, no quantitative analyses of their parameters have been performed.…”

“…Moreover, several studies focused specifically on scroll segmentation (Braganza et al, 2009 ; Brady et al, 2018 ; Milisavljevic et al, 2018 ). In their study into the scrolling behavior, Braganza et al ( 2009 ) determined that two scrolls recorded within 1 s of each other were considered as a single scroll.…”

“…They did not find any major differences between these timings, and consequently chose 1 s as a threshold. In their study, Milisavljevic et al ( 2018 ) defined a scroll session as a set of continuous scroll events ended with a mouse movement. On the topic of scrolling when reading, Brady et al ( 2018 ) sampled a frame every 100 ms to check if the displayed text had moved.…”

“…In the state-of-the-art, the same types of parameters are frequently used. For the use of the mouse, these include curvature, trajectory, clicks, dwells, or the number of movements (Zheng et al, 2011;Fu et al, 2017;Rheem et al, 2018;Tzafilkou and Protogeros, 2018), and for scrolls, amplitude, speed, and number (Braganza et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2017;Milisavljevic et al, 2018). In comparison, eye-mouse studied parameters are more related to their respective positions, but are not limited to this factor.…”

“…As a matter of fact, users spend a significant cumulative amount of time on SERPs, but in short bursts of time. When focusing on common web pages, the eyes and the mouse are also coordinated on the vertical axis, and the scroll speeds influence the position of the eyes during scrolling (Milisavljevic et al, 2018 ). The participant is looking at the opposite part of the screen when scrolling at a high speed.…”

The study of eye movements is a common way to non-invasively understand and analyze human behavior. However, eye-tracking techniques are very hard to scale, and require expensive equipment and extensive expertise. In the context of web browsing, these issues could be overcome by studying the link between the eye and the computer mouse. Here, we propose new analysis methods, and a more advanced characterization of this link. To this end, we recorded the eye, mouse, and scroll movements of 151 participants exploring 18 dynamic web pages while performing free viewing and visual search tasks for 20 s. The data revealed significant differences of eye, mouse, and scroll parameters over time which stabilize at the end of exploration. This suggests the existence of a task-independent relationship between eye, mouse, and scroll parameters, which are characterized by two distinct patterns: one common pattern for movement parameters and a second for dwelling/fixation parameters. Within these patterns, mouse and eye movements remained consistent with each other, while the scrolling behaved the opposite way.
