Eye tracking is an integral part of psychophysical research in cognitive science. However, commercial eye trackers can be prohibitively expensive for many labs around the world. We developed a binocular eye tracker that performs either as well as or better than a well-known and successful commercial system, but at a small fraction of the cost.[…]

Tim Näher (ESI, Frankfurt) just created a GUI interface in Matlab for our U’n’Eye algorithm for classifying eye movements. His application can be downloaded on GitHub. Our algorithm’s details are here: Bellet, M. E.*, Bellet, J.*, Nienborg, H., Hafed, Z. M.**, & Berens, P.** (2019). Human-level saccade detection performance using deep neural networks.

We have a new paper in press at the Journal of Vision. The paper is part of the Special Issue: From Peripheral to Transsaccadic and Foveal Perception. In this work, led by Matthias Baumann and co-authored by Saad Idrees and Thomas Münch, we continued exploring the robust phenomenon of perceptual saccadic suppression. Saccadic suppression refers to[…]
