Description

Functions for the detection of fixations in raw eye-tracking data.

Details

Offers a function for detecting fixations in a stream of eye positions recorded by an eye-tracker. The detection is done using an algorithm for saccade detection proposed by Ralf Engbert and Reinhold Kliegl (see reference below). Anything that happens between two saccades is considered to be a fixation. This software is therefore not suited for data sets with smooth-pursuit eye movements.
