Best practices in eye tracking research.

Int J Psychophysiol

Brigham Young University, United States of America. Electronic address:

Published: September 2020

This guide describes best practices in using eye tracking technology for research in a variety of disciplines. A basic outline of the anatomy and physiology of the eyes and of eye movements is provided, along with a description of the sorts of research questions eye tracking can address. We then explain how eye tracking technology works and what sorts of data it generates, and provide guidance on how to select and use an eye tracker as well as selecting appropriate eye tracking measures. Challenges to the validity of eye tracking studies are described, along with recommendations for overcoming these challenges. We then outline correct reporting standards for eye tracking studies.

Study on the Influence of Rural Highway Landscape Green Vision Rate on Driving Load Based on Factor Analysis.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

School of Civil Engineering Architecture and the Environment, Hubei University of Technology, Wuhan 430068, China.

The green vision rate of rural highway greening landscape is a key factor affecting the driver's visual load. Based on this, this paper uses the eye tracking method to study the visual characteristics of drivers in different green vision environments on rural highways in Xianning County. Based on the HSV color space model, this paper obtains four sections of rural highway with a green vision rate of 10~20%, green vision rate of 20~30%, green vision rate of 30~40%, and green vision rate of 40~50%.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder that causes a range of developmental problems including cognitive and behavioral impairment and learning disabilities. FXS is caused by full mutations (FM) of the gene expansions to over 200 repeats, with hypermethylation of the cytosine-guanine-guanine (CGG) tandem repeated region in its promoter, resulting in transcriptional silencing and loss of gene function. Female carriers of FM are typically less impaired than males.

In this article, we discuss operationalizations and examples of experimental design in eye-tracking research. First, we distinguish direct operationalization for entities like saccades, which are closely aligned with their original concepts, and indirect operationalization for concepts not directly measurable, such as attention or mind-wandering. The latter relies on selecting a measurable proxy.

Combining automation and expertise: A semi-automated approach to correcting eye-tracking data in reading tasks.

Behav Res Methods

January 2025

Department of Computer Science, Colby College, 4000 Mayflower Hill, Waterville, 04901, Maine, USA.

In reading tasks, drift can move fixations from one word to another or even another line, invalidating the eye-tracking recording. Manual correction is time-consuming and subjective, while automated correction is fast - yet limited in accuracy. In this paper, we present Fix8 (Fixate), an open-source GUI tool that offers a novel semi-automated correction approach for eye-tracking data in reading tasks.

Altered neural signaling in fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) was investigated with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We employed a novel fMRI network analysis method, Structural and Physiological Modeling (SAPM), which provides more detailed information than previous methods. The study involved brain fMRI data from participants with FM (N = 22) and a control group (HC, N = 18), acquired during a noxious stimulation paradigm.
