The racer's gaze: Visual strategy in high-speed sports expertise.

ABSTRACT: Eye movements shape all visual input to the brain, making their understanding essential for studying perception and visual guidance in dynamic environments. Research on expert performance indicates that gaze coordination is a key feature of expertise in, for example, sports. Mobile eye tracking provides the opportunity to investigate gaze strategies supporting the skilled actions of an athlete and can deliver insight into the underlying perceptual-cognitive processes. We systematically observed the visual strategy of an expert racing driver performing a domain-representative task. Synchronized gaze, telemetry, and localization data from a high-grade simulator were analyzed to address four classes of research questions: oculomotor, scene analysis, timing, and point of vantage. The results (
