Eye tracking extension for Presentation®

The Extension for Presentation® allows you to control your Eye Tracker from Presentation® and to get raw sample data, fixations and saccades in real-time. The gaze data will be saved to files, as well as triggers you can send to synchronize your own events (like displaying a stimulus) with the gaze samples.

From Presentation® you can:

Source code example

The following code excerpt demonstrates how you can achieve this (communication with the eye tracker is highlighted yellow):

begin_pcl; # create eyetracker instance - this will use the installed extension named "Eyetracker" eye_tracker eye = new eye_tracker("Eyetracker"); # begin calibration eye.calibrate(et_calibrate_default,0.0,0.0,0.0); # tell the eyetracking extension where to save the data files (see programming manual for syntax details) eye.send_string("DataFileName=c:\\vp1"); # start collecting data eye.start_tracking(); # show images and send triggers which will be saved to file eye.send_trigger(0); eye.send_trigger(1); trial2.present(); eye.send_trigger(2); trial2.present(); eye.send_trigger(3); trial2.present(); eye.send_trigger(4); # tell presentation to collect position data eye.start_data(dt_position, false); # tell presentation to collect fixation data eye.start_data(dt_fixation); # you can also tell presentation to collect saccade data # eye.start_data(dt_saccade); # buffer for current gaze position eye_position_data eyePos; # buffer for current fixation position fixation_event_data eyePos2; # buffer for last fixation position for display int lastX2 = 0; int lastY2 = 0; # start data collection loop loop int k = 1 # used as counter until response_manager.last_response() == 2 begin # check if new position data is available if eye.new_position_data() == 1 then # get last position data eyePos = eye.last_position_data(); # ... and move the square accordingly square.set_part_x(1, int(eyePos.x())); square.set_part_y(1, int(eyePos.y())); square.present(); end; # same as above for fixations... if eye.new_fixation_events() == 1 then eyePos2 = eye.last_fixation_event(); lastX2=int(eyePos2.x()); lastY2=int(eyePos2.y()); end; square2.set_part_x(1, lastX2); square2.set_part_y(1, lastY2); square2.present(); end; # stop eyetracking eye.stop_tracking();

(The program moves two squares around the screen. Square 1 resembles the current gaze position and square 2 the last fixation)
