Aurally Aided Visual Search with Musical Stimuli – An Eye Tracking Analysis

2008 
Visual search is a complex visual task used in many industrial applications. It is also well studied experimentally, and represents an opportunity to test methods to present location information to people and compare to existing research. In this experiment, participants were asked to complete a challenging visual search task of finding the character “Y” within a background of two different densities of the character “X” (25% and 45%). Participants were cued as to the location of the target using 2 spatial audio methods and two types of stimuli (music and a harmonic tone). A Tobii eye tracker was used to present the visual search screens and track eye movements throughout the experiment in order to identify differences in search method between conditions.
