“…For example, because the central location is acoustically the most unfavorable, it may be the case that spatially aligned visual attention is especially important in that case. It is also possible that lateral eye movements strongly engage the visual spatial attention system, leading to interference if auditory attention is focused elsewhere, whereas frontal fixation leaves the visual system in a default state (Nakashima & Kumada, 2017) that is less likely to cause interference.…”

An Effect of Gaze Direction in Cocktail Party Listening

It is well established that gaze direction can influence auditory spatial perception, but the implications of this interaction for performance in complex listening tasks is unclear. In the current study, we investigated whether there is a measurable effect of gaze direction on speech intelligibility in a “cocktail party” listening situation. We presented sequences of digits from five loudspeakers positioned at 0°, ± 15°, and ± 30° azimuth, and asked participants to repeat back the digits presented from a designated target loudspeaker. In different blocks of trials, the participant visually fixated on a cue presented at the target location or at a nontarget location. Eye position was tracked continuously to monitor compliance. Performance was best when fixation was on-target (vs. off-target) and the size of this effect depended on the specific configuration. This result demonstrates an influence of gaze direction in multitalker mixtures, even in the absence of visual speech information.

“…The position of body parts (the own body representation) modulates human visual perception, biasing visual attention, even if their position is task irrelevant (e.g., Garza, Strom, Wright, Roberts, & Reed, 2013;Nakashima & Kumada, 2017). Further, visual perception is influenced by the position of a hand tool that one holds (e.g., Reed, Betz, Garza, & Roberts, 2010).…”

Beyond one’s body parts: Remote object movement with sense of agency involuntarily biases spatial attention

Humans' own body postures and/or actions bias visual attention. This study examined whether an object controlled remotely with a sense of agency (SoA) can bias attentional allocation, even if the mappings of body movement and object movement do not correspond (i.e., with a less extended body representation). In the experiments, participants shifted a circle toward an instructed direction via keypress. On some trials, the task changed to identification of visual characters instead of the circle shift. Strength of SoA was manipulated based on the probability that the circle actually moved to the participant's intended location, with high probability producing a strong SoA. Results showed that visual identification performance became higher for appearance of the target at the intended location than at the unintended location, but only when observers felt a strong SoA. This suggests that the object's movement attracts attention when the observer feels a strong SoA over its control.

“…Perceived fatigue was assessed using a visual analog scale ranging from 0 (no fatigue) to 10 (maximal fatigue and exhaustion), which captures momentary fatigue and is validated for physical activity (Murray and Hunfalvay, 2017). Perceived exertion was assessed with the Borg scale which ranges from 6 (no exertion) to 20 (maximal exertion) (Nakashima and Kumada, 2017) and captures participants' perception of exercise intensity.…”

In badminton, the ability to quickly gather relevant visual information is one of the most important determinants of performance. However, gaze behavior has never been investigated in a real-game setting (with fatigue), nor related to performance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fatigue on gaze behavior during a badminton game setting, and to determine the relationship between fatigue, performance and gaze behavior. Nineteen novice badminton players equipped with eye-tracking glasses played two badminton sets: one before and one after a fatiguing task. The duration and number of fixations for each exchange were evaluated for nine areas of interest. Performance in terms of points won or lost and successful strokes was not impacted by fatigue, however fatigue induced more fixations per exchange on two areas of interest (shuttlecock and empty area after the opponent's stroke). Furthermore, two distinct gaze behaviors were found for successful and unsuccessful performance: points won were associated with fixations on the boundary lines and few fixation durations on empty area before the participant's stroke; successful strokes were related to long fixation durations, few fixation durations on empty area and a large number of fixations on the shuttlecock, racket, opponent's upper body and anticipation area. This is the first study to use a mobile eye-tracking system to capture gaze behavior during a real badminton game setting: fatigue induced changes in gaze behavior, and successful and unsuccessful performance were associated with two distinct gaze behaviors.
