N2  - The effects of conversation task on drivers' visual behavior and detection performance were examined using a binocular gaze-tracking device and fixed-based driving simulator. The participants were engaged in various conversation tasks (mental imaging/mental arithmetic/shadowing) while following a lead vehicle. The results indicated that demands of conversation task, even if the contents are only slightly subjectively demanding, can affect a driver's visual detection performance. Follow-up study, by means of brain function imaging with fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), suggested a conversation task that increment disparity angle of both eyes gaze direction also corresponds to the degradation of visual information processing at visual cortex.
