Parametrization of Saccade Trajectories

Abstract

The problem of description and classification of rapid eye movements called saccades is considered. It is well known that the saccades are of various types. A classification of saccades is proposed according to the presence and types of pre-saccadic and post-saccadic movements. An algorithm is developed to determine the parameters that can be used to formally assign the saccade to one of the given types.
