Real Time Tracking
The two white dots in the black square area on the screen represent the two eyes and show the real-time tracking.
Gaze Plot
On the screen we can see a 'gaze plot' - this is a post-recording process where the fixations and saccades are overlain on the stimuli for initial visual interpretation.

For your questions or comments regarding the lab, please contact Prof. Dr. Sara Fabrikant and/or Dr. Arzu Coltekin.
