  abstract = {We propose a computational model for the automatic animation
of the eyes and head of virtual or physical avatars. Given any input
in the form of video streams, the model finds the most salient
(interesting) locations in the agent's visual environment and directs
its gaze towards them. The computation of visual salience at the basis
of the model relies on a neurobiological model of visual processing
along the occipito-parietal stream in the primate brain. The relative
contributions of eyes and head towards a given gaze shift are then
computed from a gaze decomposition model derived from behavioral
recordings in Rhesus monkeys. Finally, the dynamics of eye and head
movements are calibrated against behavioral recordings from human
subjects. The model autonomously gazes towards locations also gazed to
by human observers watching the same video inputs, in a highly
significant manner.},
