i believe that peripheral vision covers a lot of things on the screen, especially when your attention is focused at the center of the screen. look towards and east slightly diagonally?-- covers resource tab.
my point is that what we see or dont see influences where our focus goes, and in this case i tend to recall seeing quite a lot of what i needed to see from just looking at the screen. it gets to the point that someone can afford to shift their eyes around as they cope with any nervous feelings. in the OP's video, all of the rapid eye movement was very hard for me to follow and 'decipher' in real-time. i think it'd be great for if someone had the time to sit down and peel it out for deep analysis though....
as is, i feel that the mouse pointer is already a strong indicator of where someone is looking. can you imagine yourself boxing your units and checking your resources and minimap at the exact same time? a player's accuracy would really drop if they weren't focusing on important actions as they were doing them.

no I think this will disprove what you are saying in that mouse pointer is where they look at. when you glace at resource tabs you never move your mouse to it nor minimap unless it is needed. the youtube video application just focused on his big army wihtout doing anything about stacking minerals and such. from a real pro we would see when he checks for these things, how often, and where his attention is at critical battles, how quickly does he spot the drop, and etc.
