Abstract
A method to assess a human subject's attention while experiencing dynamic media. An attention-predictive response (e.g. time course of gaze position, or pupil size, or heart-rate, etc.) is monitored while the subject watches the media. Similarity of the time course of this response to the time course of a predicted response provides a quantitative measure of the subject's attention to the media
Claims21
An electronic system to assess human attention, comprising:
- a processing unit configured to provide a dynamic media for presentation to a human subject;
- wherein the processing unit is configured to communicatively couple with a digital recording device;
- wherein the processing unit is also configured to electronically obtain, from the digital recording device, a digitally recorded time course of attention-predictive response for the human subject, wherein the digitally recorded time course of the attention-predictive response is a digital recording of the attention-predictive response of the human subject over time while the dynamic media is being presented to the human subject;
- and
- wherein the processing unit is also configured to determine a similarity metric indicating a similarity between (1) the digitally recorded time course of the attention-predictive response and (2) a corresponding time course of anticipated response to the dynamic media.
