Connectionists: EMA - Eye Movement Analysis toolbox

[Agostino Gibaldi]

Dear Colleagues,

it is our pleasure to announce the release of EMA, the Eye Movement 
Analysis toolbox:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ema-toolbox/

EMA is implemented in the form of a Matlab GUI and is free for use in 
research.
The GUI is implemented in a modular way, so that the functions used in 
the GUI can be extracted for sequential analysis of large datasets of 
eye movements.

FUNCTIONALITIES
EMA provides the following tools:
- data conversion from pixel to degrees to normalized
- saccade identification
- saccade kinematics
- fixation heatmap
- main sequence

SUPPORTED DEVICES
EMA supports the following eye trackers:
- SR Research (Eyelink 1000, Eyelink II)
- SMI (RED 250)
- Tobii EyeX SDK (EyeX and 4C 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/matlabtoolboxeyex/)
The modular architecture allows to plugin a parser for other devices.

For questions, comments or suggestions you can reach the authors.


Best regards,

     Agostino Gibaldi
     Silvio P. Sabatini
