Disentangling the effects of spatial inconsistency of targets and distractors when searching in realistic scenes. (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Disentangling the effects of spatial inconsistency of targets and distractors when searching in realistic scenes. Journal of Vision, https://doi.org/10.1167/15.2.12

Previous research has suggested that correctly placed objects facilitate eye guidance, but also that objects violating spatial associations within scenes may be prioritized for selection and subsequent inspection. We analyzed the respective eye guida... Read More about Disentangling the effects of spatial inconsistency of targets and distractors when searching in realistic scenes..

Journal Article
Vadillo, M. A., Street, C. N. H., Beesley, T., & Shanks, D. R. (2015). A simple algorithm for the offline recalibration of eye-tracking data through best-fitting linear transformation. Behavior Research Methods, 47(4), 1365-1376. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-014-0544-1

Poor calibration and inaccurate drift correction can pose severe problems for eye-tracking experiments requiring high levels of accuracy and precision. We describe an algorithm for the offline correction of eye-tracking data. The algorithm conducts a...
