      abstract = {Elena Hitzel pursues the idea that human gaze locations  are influenced by currently non-fixated objects that are  visible in the peripheral visual field. Using eye tracking  equipment and a Virtual Reality system to provide  naturalistic tasks, the author shows that gaze is biased  towards a neighboring object, especially when this object  is relevant to the subjectℓ́ℓs current task. This suggests  that peripheral vision is used in the allocation of gaze in  daily life and that this bias can be interpreted in terms  of a compromise between foveal and peripheral information  gain. The benefit of this bias in natural vision is  discussed in the context of bottom-up and top-down  theories. ℗ℓContents The Allocation of Gaze in Natural  Tasks An Effect of Peripheral Information on Gaze A Visual  Center of Gravity Effect in Real-Life Tasks The  Tasks-Relevance of Objects and its Impact on Gaze Position  Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of  Visual Perception and Visual Neuroscience Practitioners in  the fields of Cognitive Ergonomics, Man-Machine  Interaction, Neuropsychology ℗ℓThe Author After graduating  from Justus-Liebig-Universit©Þt Gie©ℓen with a Masterℓ́ℓs  degree in Psychology, Elena Hitzel is currently enrolled in  a Ph.D. program (Chair of General Psychology, Prof. Karl  Gegenfurtner, JLU Gie©ℓen) that focuses on value-based  modulations of visuo-motor control across the adult life  span. ℗ℓ ℗ℓ},
