A bstract : In nonstationary noisy systems the traditional cross‐correlation method may not appropriately detect all cases of interdependencies between coupled systems. The phase‐synchronization method was previously found useful in detecting synchronization in several systems. We here applied the phase‐synchronization decay to study the synchronization between six combinations of binocular fixational eye movement components. We found that only two components were synchronized: the right and left horizontal with each other and the right and left vertical. Furthermore, the vertical‐vertical components were much more synchronized than the horizontal.
