Head and eye movements in visual search using night vision goggles.

Abstract

NVG use did not significantly affect any of the individual head or eye movement variables involved in searching the computer-generated imagery studied here. However, the decrease in gaze-saccade amplitude with increased target conspicuity when NVGs were used is evidence of the sensitivity of the head and eye movement measurement techniques used here, and suggests that all available measures of response efficiency be considered when evaluating NVGs using complex stimuli.
