Complexity, Regularity and Non-Linear Behavior in Human Eye Movements: Analyzing the Dynamics of Gaze in Virtual Sailing Programs
The non-linear analysis of the behavior of biological signals in humans is studied from different scientific disciplines. The aim of this study was to analyze the possible non-linear behavior present in eye movements during eye-tracking tasks in simulated sailing. Thirty young sailors were selected....

| description | The non-linear analysis of the behavior of biological signals in humans is studied from different scientific disciplines. The aim of this study was to analyze the possible non-linear behavior present in eye movements during eye-tracking tasks in simulated sailing. Thirty young sailors were selected. Fuzzy entropy and detrended fluctuation analyses were applied to quantify the regularity and complexity of eye movements. The results show that neither experience nor ranking affect the regularity or the complexity of eye movement positions or velocities. Younger age is related to more regular visual behavior. At younger ages, eye positions present more complex behavior. Eye positions show more complex behavior than eye velocities. This complexity would allow for a more functional exploration of the environment by sailors. Eye movement velocity presents the greatest irregularity, with significantly higher values than eye movement position. This irregularity would facilitate the visual perception of the environment. All these findings could be related to the sailors’ functional behavior, based on complexity and stability, which has been associated with the ability of human beings to adapt to the environment. |
