Windows to the soul – Eye tracking and the brain As a researcher
or clinician, you need to analyze how we process visual
information in different situations. Eye tracking improves the
effectiveness and verifiability of studies by filtering out
trials where the subjects failed to see the stimulus, or to
comply with the task. It can also improve the efficiency of many
studies, since there is less statistical noise, leading to fewer
subjects needed and thus faster results. In certain studies, eye
tracking aids in filtering out those parts of the recording
where eye movements created artifacts in the signal, which
streamlines the analysis. SMI provides various eye tracking
solutions in the neurosciences where the camera can be head or
desk-mounted, or use a Hi-Speed camera mounted in a chin-rest,
or even an fMRI or MEG compatible camera. SMI systems are
available with portable, high-speed and remote options. They are
suitable for a wide range of research areas, including: - Neuro-
