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 under both sober and intoxicated conditions. Results demonstrate that a significant increase in the incidence of long-duration blink closures occured 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.
