Aspects of the Eyeblink during Simulated Driving as a Function of Alcohol

Eyeblink frequency and closure durations were recorded while subjects operated a driver simulator. Two films were viewed wider both sober and intoxicated conditions. Results demonstrate that a significant increase in the incidence of long-duration blink closures occurred while subjects were intoxica...

Summary:Eyeblink frequency and closure durations were recorded while subjects operated a driver simulator. Two films were viewed wider both sober and intoxicated conditions. Results demonstrate that a significant increase in the incidence of long-duration blink closures occurred while subjects were intoxicated. There was also a significant increase in the frequency of blinks and long-duration closures as a function of time-on-task.
