Abstract
The authors consider an insufficiently studied indicator, i.e., motor activity of eyelids, recorded with or without miniature contacts in infrared rays for the visual analyzer states eyes open / eyes closed. Eyelid movement characteristics are highly informative in diagnosing the functional state and evaluating operator activity quality under monotonous conditions. The authors discuss possible mechanisms of the influence of such functional states on the motor activity of eyelids.
