Abstract
Fixation saccadic eye movements occur at a more rapid rate during non-alpha (aroused) intervals than during alpha (less aroused) intervals. Other specific patterns of eye movement are shown to be typical of individuals or to occur in periods combining visual fixation with auditory task instruction.
