Survey of eye movement recording methods

This paper reviews most of the known techniques for measuring eye movements, explaining their principle of operation and their primary advantages and disadvantages. The five sections of the paper cover the following topics: (1) types of eye movement, (2) characteristics of the eye which lend themselves to measurement and the principal approaches to the measurement of eye movement, (3) practical methods of measurement with especial attention to the new techniques, (4) general considerations guiding a selection of method, and (5) summarizing of the major findings in a concise table.
