A DVD of a computer based visual search technique has been made by the Oxford University Oculomotor Group. The image below shows the sort of visual search task which is involved. People are required to search for a target object amongst distractors using their eyes while keeping their head still. Training results in increased search speed, reported improvements in daily vision, and improvements in tasks representing activities of daily living.
