Abstract

During the last 20 years, eye-tracking has become an important method for researchers in different fields like medicine, psychology, marketing, and even gaming. However, analysis tools are scarce. In this paper, we introduce our openly available software solution that can visualize saccadic eye-movement and calculate reaction times from saccadic paradigms, e.g. the antisaccade task. It further includes an error classification and processes the raw data into a trial-by-trial (target) output. Reaction times and error rates are typically estimated as performance indicators for this task. Moreover, the tool includes blink detection as well as a pupil size based fine tuning, which may be interesting for research assessing cognitive load and synchronization processes. The software is multi-platform, succinct, and easily extendable.

SPBView：一个可扩展的数据分析和组合可视化工具，用于眼动、瞳孔大小和眨眼检测

在过去的20年里，眼动追踪已经成为医学、心理学、市场营销甚至游戏等不同领域研究人员的重要方法。然而，分析工具是稀缺的。在本文中，我们介绍了一个公开的软件解决方案，它可以可视化眼跳运动，并从眼跳范式计算反应时间，例如反眼跳任务。它还包括错误分类，并将原始数据处理成逐个试验（目标）输出。反应时间和错误率通常被估计为该任务的性能指标。此外，该工具还包括眨眼检测以及基于瞳孔大小的微调，这对于评估认知负荷和同步过程的研究可能很有趣。该软件是多平台的，简洁的，并且易于扩展。

期刊介绍： SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
