Changes in saccade duration, saccade amplitude and slope of the regression line relating amplitude and duration were assessed during a 2 hour air traffic control simulating task. Mean duration significantly increased as a function of time on task (TOT). Saccade amplitude decreased during the beginning part of the two hour period, increased in the middle and decreased in the final part of task performance. Differences in saccade duration were also assessed for saccades occurring during and independent of eye blinks. When matched for amplitude, electrooculographically measured saccades occurring during a blink were significantly slower than those occurring independent of a blink. Our results suggest caution in interpreting saccade velocity change as an index of 'fatigue' since most of the reduction in average saccade velocity may be secondary to increases in blink frequency.

Objective: To explore and validate effective eye movement features related to motion sickness (MS) through closed-track experiments and to provide valuable insights for practical applications.
Background: With the development of autonomous vehicles (AVs), MS has attracted more and more attention. Eye movements have great potential to evaluate the severity of MS as an objective quantitative indicator of vestibular function.
Impact of neuro-optometric rehabilitation on adult oculomotor challenges - A systematic review.

Neuro-optometric rehabilitation has a broad range of potential rehabilitative applications in neurological and developmental conditions affecting the eye. There is a dearth of evidence supporting its effectiveness, especially in adults. To address this issue, we systematically reviewed literature published in English between January 2000 and June 2022, obtained from search engines such as PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and CINAHL, using keywords including "neuro optometry," "rehabilitation" or a related term, and "oculomotor problem" or "neurological problem" or a related term.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by social communication deficits and repetitive behaviors. Eye movement abnormalities are common in ASD, suggesting underlying cognitive impairments such as working memory and response inhibition. However, several investigations suggest deficits in inhibitory control and working memory among individuals with ASD, whereas others indicate performance levels similar to typically developing individuals.

Different driving environments may lead to increased mental workload and fatigue among drivers, consequently diminishing driving safety. To investigate the impact of various factors on drivers' driving load, this study approaches the issue from three perspectives: external weather environment, road driving environment, and in-vehicle driving environment. Through the experimental modeling of the mountainous road section of Provincial Highway S208 in Chongyang County, Xianning City, and employing simulated driving experiments, various factor combinations were designed to investigate the visual characteristics of drivers.

Background: Abnormal eye movements occur at the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the characteristics of abnormal eye movements of patients with AD and their relationship with clinical symptoms remain inconsistent, and their predictive value for diagnosing and monitoring the progression of AD remains unclear.
Methods: A total of 42 normal controls, 63 patients with mild cognitive impairment due to AD (AD-MCI), and 49 patients with dementia due to AD (AD-D) were recruited.
