Eye-mouse coordination patterns on web search results pages

We analyzed the patterns of coordination between users' eye movements and mouse movements when scanning a web search results page, using data gathered from a study with 32 participants. We discovered 3 patterns of active mouse usage: following the eye vertically with the mouse, following the eye horizontally with the mouse, and using the mouse to mark a promising result.
