Eye Tracker Calibration Component (Standalone Routine)

Please note: This is a new component, and is subject to change.

Note that the Eye tracking calibration component is a “standalone routine”, this means that rather than generating a component that is added to an existing routine, it is a routine in itself, that is then placed along your flow. The reason for this implementation is that calibration represents a series of events that will be relatively uniform across studies, and often we would not want to add any additional info to this phase of the study (i.e. images, text etc.)

Parameters

Basic

Namestring

Everything in a PsychoPy® experiment needs a unique name. The name should contain only letters, numbers and underscores (no punctuation marks or spaces).

Target Layout:

How many targets do you want to be presented for calibration? Points will be displayed in a grid.

Randomise Target Positions: bool

If True the point positions will be presented in a random order.

Outer Border Widthint

The width of the line around the outer target.

Animation

How should the animation of the calibration routine appear?

Progress Mode :

Should each target appear one after the other and progress based on time? Or should the next target be presented once the space key has been pressed.

Target Durationint or float

The duration of the pulse of the outer circle (i.e. time or expand + contract)

Expand Scale:

How much larger should the outer circle get?

Animate Position Changes: bool

Should the target appear as though it is moving across the screen from one location to the next?

Movement Duration: int or float

The duration of the movement from one point to the next.
