Fixation-aligned pupillary response averaging [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2010 Symposium on Eye-Tracking Research & Applications - ETRA '10, 2010
We propose a new way of analyzing pupil measurements made in conjunction with eye tracking: fixation-aligned pupillary response averaging, in which short windows of continuous pupil measurements are selected based on patterns in eye tracking data, temporally aligned, and averaged together. Such short pupil data epochs can be selected based on fixations
