In this task the subject had to memorize the positions of targets that can be only learned with active gaze shifts. The eye movements during training and test are recorded. \begin{questions} \question In the accompanying dataset you find six variables. (i) \textit{eye\_found} a logical array indicating whether the eye was found by the tracker. (ii, iii) \textit{gaze\_x} and \textit{gaze\_y} containing the x- and y-position of the gaze. They relate to a screen with 1280x1024 pixel resolution. (iv) \textit{frame\_time} containing time stamps for each frame. (v) \textit{marker\_time} containing the time of the last marker. (vi) \textit{marker\_count} the count of the markers. All entries with the same marker belong to the same trial. \begin{parts} \part Cut the data in chunks belonging to the same trial. \part Characterize the eye movements statistically, e.g. with eye speed and/or accelerations. \part Detect and correct the eye traces for instances in which the eye was not correctly detected. Interpolate linearily in these sections. \part Create a 'heatmap' plot that shows the eye trajectories for one or two (nice) trials. \part Use the \verb+kmeans+ clustering function to identify fixation points. Manually select a good number of cluster centroids. \end{parts} \end{questions} \end{document}
