Eye Tapping: How to Beat Out an Accurate Rhythm using Eye Movements

Author

Summary, in English

Abstract in Undetermined
The aim of this study was to investigate how well subjects beat out a rhythm using eye movements and to establish the most accurate method of doing this. Eighteen subjects participated in an experiment were five different methods were evaluated and a fixation based method was found to be the most accurate. All subjects were able to synchronize their eye movements with a given beat but the accuracy was much lower than usually found in finger tapping stud- ies. Many parts of the body are used to make music but so far, with a few exceptions, the eyes have been silent. The re- search presented here provides guidelines for implementing eye controlled musical interfaces. Such interfaces would en- able performers and artists to use eye movement for musical expression and would open up new, exiting possibilities.
