A method and system for detecting patterns of eye movements in a series of captured images may include capturing a series of images of at least one eye of a viewer by a camera, where the series of images may comprise at least two images, calculating, by a processor, a vector of a movement of the at least one eye between the at least two images, where the vector may include a distance of the movement, a direction of the movement and a time between capturing of the images, comparing the vector to at least one characteristic of a plurality of known patterns of eye movements, and classifying the movement of the eye(s) as one of a plurality of known pattern of eye movements.
