title: On identification of saccades from sinusoidal eye movement signals.
abstract: Sinusoidal eye movements and potential saccadic eye movements are examined using the syntactic pattern recognition method presented previously. A few computer tests are presented for the verification of potential saccades from signals of sinusoidal eye movements. The technique was developed and tested with electro-oculographic signals. The verification of saccades consists of three tests: the estimation of average noise peaks in an eye movement signal; an angular velocity threshold; and the comparison between a sinusoidal eye movement signal and the corresponding stimulus signal. The technique is also efficient for noisy signals of eye movements, which were stimulated by both predictive and non-predictive sinusoidal stimulus movements.
