ABSTRACT
I have a many-sided interest in ways of recording the line of sight to understand more fully the nature of cognitive processes. My interests in fact are fivefold. First, I am an investigator interested in learning what we can from such devices. Second, I am a user who likes to administer such procedures. Third, I am an equipment designer, and fourth, also a constructor since I like to build these devices myself. Last of all, I speak as an adviser on their use. (For instance, over the last 20 years, more than 100 separate investigators have discussed with me their points of view on lines of sight. They have asked how to convert their mental projections into appropriate hardware to give them the fixation-point measuremen ts they need from the kind of line-of-sight changes they expect from their own particular visual situations.)
Before providing a brief glimpse of my new Digital Eye Camera, I would like, with your indulgence, to lay before you some general words of wisdom. It is well known that creative research persons often have a strong sense of humor [and of modesty, (eds.)]. Therefore, most of you may appreciate the expression of my serious convictions in this lighthearted form of five fables for our times.
