| Research Abstract |
A method for extracting eyeblink associated with eye closure (ECBL) is developed. Auditory task are introduced to clarify the relationship between cognitive process and ECBL. First, ECBL frequently occurs just after stimulus onset. Second, ECBL tends to occur just before key press for discrimination of stimulus. This tendency suggests that ECBL does not reflect motor response but reflect cognitive process. Next, variance of the number of eyelid movements over time during a nap is observed.
