Visual strategies used during the performance of an obstacle course
Santos, Inês P.; Pereira, Leonor MonizVision is the sense that provides precise information about one’s position in the environment in relation to objects. The visual system is essential to guide people safely when moving around in the environment. The perception that an individual gets from a particular scene of her/his surroundings is accomplished by eye movements. The current study aims to identify differences in visual strategies between 15 wom...
Eye movements of beginning and more skilled readers
Sardeira, Marina; Pereira, Leonor MonizThe present study aimed to analyze and compare the eye movements of beginning (2nd grade) and more skilled (4th grade) readers, during reading words and pseudo-words aloud, that differ in frequency (just for words), regularity and length. In this way, one intends to analyze the process of visual information extraction, by both groups, and detect experience and practice-related changes in the ocular behavior. Th...
Direcção do olhar em individuos com e sem insuficiência de convergência
Mendanha, Luís; Pereira, Leonor MonizA eficácia do nosso sistema visual influencia o modo como recolhemos e processamos a informação. Uma visão ineficiente pode provocar uma menor capacidade no desempenho de algumas tarefas. Uma das situações mais comuns, onde isso se verifica é a insuficiência de convergência. Assim, pretendemos investigar a existência de diferenças significativas, durante a fixação e perseguição de um alvo, em indivíduos com e s...

Eye gaze in individuals with and without convergence insufficiency
Mendanha, Luís; Pereira, Leonor MonizAims of the study: Characterization of the eye gaze, through the analysis of eye movements during fixation and pursuit of a target in young adults with convergence insufficiency and young adults with normal binocular vision. In the horizontal from left-right in the vertical from up-down, for the most used direction, in the horizontal from right-left, and in the vertical from down-up for the less used direction.
Binocular vision and balance measurement and analysis
Oliveira, Manuel; Mendanha, Luís; Pereira, Leonor MonizAn individual’s ability to see and function visually is determined largely by the relative contributions of a number of underlying components of vision designated as visual abilities. These visual abilities are: acuity, visual field, motility, brain functions, and light and color reception others consider also contrast, accommodation, and binocular vision. It is through the conjugated movement of the two eyes t...

Eye tracker, binocular vision and oculomotor balance: exploratory study
Mendanha, Luís; Oliveira, Manuel; Pereira, Leonor MonizWe have analysed the vision direction with the Eye Tracker System ASL-model 504 of individuals with alterations of oculomotor balance or binocular vision, comparing them with individuals without those kinds of alterations. The sample was composed of 40 individuals, men, and women, with ages between 18 and 23. They were distributed as follows: individuals with normal binocular vision (NBV) in binocular and monoc...
Eye tracker, binocular vision and oculomotor balance: exploratory study
Mendanha, Luís; Oliveira, Manuel; Pereira, Leonor MonizIntroduction: It is not clearly determined if vision provokes movement or if it is movement itself that provokes and propitiates the visual search and exploration. Lack of concentration phenomena, localization mistakes, and excessive visual effort is associated with binocular function alterations and therefore they can restrict or even turn the daily routine in the different areas of human activity impossible. ...
The Portuguese experiment within the IBCoBN project
Rocha, Nelson Pacheco da; Pereira, Leonor Moniz; Cunha, Susana; Cidade, Clara; Oliveira, José LuisThis paper presents the Portuguese Experience within the IBCoBN project of the European ACTS program aiming to use CaTV networks as a communication infrastructure for interactive services. In particular, high quality videotelephony has been evaluated in a set of remote care services to support the continuance of independent living of people with special needs and to allow the development of new community suppor...
