TRACKPixx Demo 7 – Running a simple saccade to target task with data visualization¶
Note
This demo requires TRACKPixx Revision 18 or later. You can check for recent firmware updates at vpixx.com/whatsnew
This demo is a simple eight-trial saccade to target experiment. During a trial, a fixation cross is presented in the center of the display, and an eye-tracking schedule is started. We use the IsSubjectFixating
flags and GetEyePosition
to check whether the participant is fixating on the cross. When a central fixation is detected, the cross is replaced with a target in one of four locations. Participants must saccade to the target as quickly as possible. We again use the fixation flags and eye position to determine whether the target was successfully fixated. On a successful fixation, the time is logged and a 500 ms visual mask appears before the next trial. During this time, gaze data from the trial is imported from the I/O controller to the main computer and saved. After the experiment ends we plot saccade duration, xy position, velocity, acceleration, and pupil size for each trial.
At the beginning of the demo there is an optional calibration step. This step calls TPxTrackpixx3CalibrationTesting
, which implements a standard MATLAB TRACKPixx3 calibration script. The tracker must be calibrated for every new participant. We also recommend calibrating after a participant moves away from the chinrest.

%
% This demo flashes a sequence of 8 targets and tracks saccades to their
% position.
% On a given trial, a fixation cross appears. When participants are
% fixating on the cross, a target appears in one of four locations (above,
% below, left, or right). Participants must saccade to the target as
% quickly as possible. When the saccade is complete, a 500ms mask is
% presented, and the next trial begins.
% Targets are circles with high or low luminance (high or low). Each luminance x
% position combination is repeated once, leading to 8 trials. After
% data is collected, data is plotted and output to a .csv file with headers
% for futher analysis
%
% If initRequired is set to 1, the function first calls
% TPxTrackpixx3CalibrationTesting to connect to the TRACKPixx3 and
% calibrate the tracker. If you are calibrating your own setup, please
% check the calibration function to ensure your settings are correct.

%Data processing steps
% 1 - Adjust eye movement flags. The flags require calculating velocity
% over several frames and are therefore offset in a deterministic way, and
% need to be shifted to align with true event onset
% 2 - Get some saccade details - onset, reaction time, duration, end
% 3 - Convert x, y positions into degrees of visual angle
% 4 - Calculate Velocity (and filter) in degrees of visual angle
% 5 - Calculate Acceleration (and filter) in degrees of visual angle
% 6 - Create a "proportionOfTrial" variable for plotting purposes
% 1 - Loop throught and create adjusted eye movement flags that are
% correctly aligned with movement onset/end. This has three discrete steps:
% a) Both types of eye movement flags are based on the 4 previous frames,
% and the 4 subsequent frames. As a result, velocity for frame j is not
% calculated until frame j+5. All flags must be moved back 5 frames to
% account for this.
% b) The arguments framesForFixationFlag and framesForSaccadeFlag specify
% how many consecutive frames a velocity has to be above/below threshold
% for an eye movement flag to raise. This reduces noise but creates an
% offset of the flag onset, corresponding to the number of frames
% specified. We correct for this by adding flags to this number of frames
% prior to flag onset.
% c) For a saccade flag to drop, the previous 2 frames must be
% below/above the threshold. We can remove these last 2 flags to get true
% movement end.
