Experts explain why the 'Infinity Tracing Technique' can be a game changer for people with insomnia

We benchmarked the direct competitor of the EyeLink 1000 Plus: VPixx' TRACKPixx3 eye-tracker. Across 8 tasks (see graph), accuracy was mostly similar, especially at the fixation level. A key difference emerged at the sample level: TRACKPixx3 uses an undocumented internal filter which yields smoother sample data but may affect saccade kinematics and fixation onsets. Check the paper for fine-grained results:

Compositional data (proportions that sum to 1) behave in ways standard models aren’t built for

I walk through why Dirichlet regression is often the right tool & what extra insight it gives, using a real example of eyetracking

New preprint on spatial bias in visual attention and how to counter it. In a two-alternative forced choice task, we show a 300% increase in statistical power when left-bias is neutralized. More is possible. Implications for visual world paradigm and perhaps the maze task.

This started as a student project in our eye-tracking course. Amazing to see what cool things students will put together if you let them.
