Abstract

Investigating human eye movement is one of the major research topics in vision science. It is known that human eye movement is related to external stimuli. In this way, the analysis of human eye movement due to different types of external stimuli is very important in vision science. Beside all reported analysis, no one has discovered any relation between the complex structure of moving visual stimuli and the complex structure of human eye movement. This study reveals the relationship between the complexity of human eye movement signal and the applied visual stimuli. For this purpose, we employ fractal theory. We demonstrated that the fractal dynamics of human eye movement in both horizontal and vertical directions shifts toward the fractal dynamics of moving visual target as stimulus. The capability observed in this research opens new doors to scientists to study the relation between the human eye movement and the applied stimuli.
