METHODS OF EYE TRACKING AND PROSPECTS OF USING IT FOR THE TRAINING OF AVIATION MEDICINE SPECIALISTS

With the development of photography and filming, the choice of methods for the study of eye movements was increasingly reduced to video recording and subsequent analysis of video material. Currently videooculography modern and useful technique of eye tracking based on the fixation of the pupil with infrared cameras. With the rapid development of aviation technology and update of human factors in the system “man - flying machine”, training of medical professionals who are trained in methods of assessing the functional reserves of attention, the quality of his distribution and General piloting skills is a bylog increase in the level of safety and videooculography - a successful tool to achieve these goals. The method of mobile binocular eye tracking has promising directions in the ergonomic assessment of the pilot›s workplace, which justifies the location of devices on the dashboard, clarifies the display and alarm systems. Support of the pilot by trained medical specialists, control of his physiological and psychophysiological indicators, will provide the possibility of correction of erroneous actions and will allow to avoid accidents in the event of complex flight situations and illusions of spatial position. Analysis of the quality of attention distribution will provide an opportunity to establish the boundaries of the human factor, which will contribute to the timely identification and solution of emerging ergonomic problems.
