Research on relationship between saccadic eye movements and EEG signals in the case of free movements and cued movements

Abstract

Our final goal is to develop an inattentive driving alert system by EEG signals. To develop this system, it is important to predict saccadic eye moements by EEG signals. In my previous studies, we found a sharp change of saccade-related EEG signals in P3 and P4 positions before the saccade. However, there are two problems in previous studies. As the first problem, we did not focus on slow cortical potentials that are important EEG signals like the P300 and the movement-related cortical potential. As the second problem, we did not observe EEG signals in the case of only cued saccade. In this study, our purpose is to find differences of saccade-related cortical potentials between in cued movements and in free movements. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
