mt_prototypes: Mouse trajectory prototypes.

In mousetrap: Process and Analyze Mouse-Tracking Data

Mouse trajectory prototypes.

Description

A core set of five mouse trajectory prototypes including the 'straight' trajectory, the mildly curved trajectory, the continuous change-of-mind trajectory, the discrete change-of-mind trajectory, and the double discrete change-of-mind trajectory.

Usage

mt_prototypes

Format

An object of class array of dimension 5 x 100 x 2.

Details

Mouse- and hand-trajectories often occur in types. In such cases, movement trajectory data should be analyzed in terms of discrete type assignments (Wulff et al., 2023). To this end mt_map can be used to map mouse- or hand-trajectory to the closest of several predefined prototypes. mt_prototypes provides a core set of prototypes that has been shown to represent well a large fraction of empirical movement trajectories (Wulff et al., 2022).

To tailor the set of prototypes to a given study, mt_prototypes can be extended using mt_add_trajectory.
