Visual perception and sequences of eye movement fixations: a stochastic modeling approach

ScanMatch: A novel method for comparing fixation sequences

“…To avoid this, a & Stark, 1995;Foulsham & Underwood, 2008;Hacisalihzade, Allen, & Stark, 1992;Noton & Stark, 1971). The method involves defining a number of spatial regions of interest (ROIs) in the scene being scanned and recoding the fixation sequence as a series of letters representing the fixated locations.…”

Novel Method to Measure Inference Affordance in Static Small-Multiple Map Displays Representing Dynamic Processes

“…For example, well-known Markov-type sequence analyses aim at modelling a process that reproduces a certain pattern (Hacisalihzade et al, 1992). Markov analyses focus on internal sequence dependencies.…”

It depends on how you look at it: Scanpath comparison in multiple dimensions with MultiMatch, a vector-based approach

“…Quantifying this "resemblance, " Brandt and Stark (1997) went on to utilize a measure of scanpath similarity that had originally been implemented for eye movement research by Hacisalihzade, Stark, and Allen (1992): the Levenshtein distance principle, used to identify commonalities in strings of symbols for DNA sequence matching (Levenshtein, 1966). The basic principle of Levenshtein distance, or string-edit, as it is also known, is that fixation sequences are first represented by overlaying discrete AOIs onto stimulus space so that the locations of fixations can be replaced with characters corresponding to the AOI positions occupied.…”
