Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Eye Tracking in Assessing Visual AttentionAyiei AyieiIn aviation, procedural errors persist despite pilots having the correct knowledge and ability to perform particular flight tasks. These errors can be attributed to diagnostic errors, inaccurate situational assessment and poor hazard awareness. Eye tracking has emerged as a technology that can be used to monitor pilot performance and provide insights into attentional distribution and the underlying decisional processes. The … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2020 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
