Everything required t take yur EyeLink lab n the rad will nw fit int a carry-n bag. The Prtable Du features distinct dual-use data cllectin mdes unique t EyeLink trackers, with specialized algrithms fr head free-t-mve and head-stabilized tracking mdes. With the same high precisin, high accuracy, and lw data lss that EyeLink systems are renwned fr, the Prtable Du meets the scientific demands f researchers in every field f endeavr, allwing the highest quality data t be acquired even in medical, educatinal, and hme settings. Distinguishing Features The Prtable Du distinguishes itself frm ther prtable eye trackers in a variety f ways: It has cmpact and pwerful camera hardware yielding high-precisin sample-level data, allwing it t prduce accurate and precise measurements f gaze lcatin and pupil size. It is a dual-use system, perating in discrete remte, head free-t-mve and high-precisin head stabilized mdes, each with their wn unique algrithms fr ensuring lw nise and high accuracy. Its cnsistent 500 Hz bincular sampling rate enables the mst sphisticated and demanding eye mvement research, including: - gaze cntingent paradigms, - micrsaccade detectin and measurement, - clinical culmtr assessment and - pupillmetry. The EyeLink Prtable Du has been designed t meet the mst stringent technical standards including IEC 60601-1 medical certificatin, making it ideal fr clinical and hspital use.
2 EyeLink PORTABLE DUO 3 Laptp and Tripd Munts The EyeLink Prtable Du cmes with Laptp and Tripd Munts fr fast and easy tracking n a laptp screen r fr use with an n-site display. The unique cmbinatin f prtability, usability, and high quality data makes the Prtable Du the perfect slutin fr researchers lking t take eye tracking ut f the labratry and int alternative envirnments like clinics, ffices, daycares, schls, and hmes. With its high sampling rate and lw nise, it is perfect fr tracking patients, yung children and ther challenging participants. Cmpatible with Existing EyeLink Applicatins The EyeLink Prtable Du uses the well-established EyeLink Applicatin Prgramming Interface (API) that has been in use fr ver 20 years, s existing prgrams develped fr any EyeLink eye tracker can be used fr bth data cllectin and analysis. This gives yu cnfidence that many prgramming ptins will be available fr yur eye-tracking task, and yur prgramming effrts will benefit when yu later want t expand frm the lab t the field r even t fmri a single unified prgramming slutin cuts acrss every setting. Free Sftware Develpment Kits (SDKs): are available fr Windws XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10, Mac OS X, and Linux E-Prime, MATLAB via Psychtlbx, NBS Presentatin, LabView, PsychPy, as well as C, COM interface and Pythn examples are included Free SR Research Screen Recrder sftware enables: vide capture f eye mvements verlaid n anything a Windws cmputer can display (e.g., web brwsing, interfaces, gaming, etc.) vide and eye mvement data lad int EyeLink Data Viewer fr visualizatin and analysis The EyeLink Prtable Du includes adjustable Laptp and Tripd Munts t enable superir quality eye tracking data cllectin in a wide variety f settings, bth in and ut f the labratry.

Fixatin Accuracy (Head Stabilized) 10 0.5 Repeated target fixatins t nine screen lcatins recrded with the EyeLink Prtable Du with the head stabilized fllwing a 13-pint calibratin. The inset plt represents an enlarged view f the fixatin distributin arund the center target psitin. On the right is a fixatin errr histgram demnstrating the tight fixatin accuracy distributin (Mean = 0.25, Median = 0.23, and Standard Deviatin = 0.14 ). 5 The Prtable Du prduces stable, lw-nise, bincular 500 Hz recrdings even when the head is freely mving. In the abve remte, head free-t-mve eye traces, small crrective saccades can clearly be seen in the bincular circular smth pursuit data. 0-5 -10 Percentage f Fixatins 30% 20% 10% 0.5 1.0 Fixatin Errr Pupil Size Accuracy Pupil size data are available with every sample cllected by the EyeLink Prtable Du. T evaluate the level f accuracy btained in pupil size measures, dts between 2.0 and 5.0 mm in diameter were laser printed, and the pupil area was measured fr each. The diameter f each dt in system units was cmputed, and the percentage difference in reprted diameter cmpared t the expected difference fr each dt was: 5 mm (142 pixels 125.66% f 4 mm) - 1636 area 40.4475 diameter - 125.60% fr -0.06% errr 4 mm (113 pixels 100.00% f 4 mm) - 1037 area 32.2025 diameter - 100.00% fr 0.00% errr 3 mm ( 85 pixels 75.22% f 4 mm) - 593 area 24.3516 diameter - 75.62% fr +0.40% errr 2 mm ( 57 pixels 50.44% f 4 mm) - 262 area 16.1864 diameter - 50.26% fr -0.18% errr Measurement errr is belw 0.4% errr fr all sizes. The secnd test was t see hw well the system picked up smaller changes, s we used 4 dts f 4.1,4.0,3.9 and 3.8 mm and cmpared the reprted sizes in relatin t the 4.0 mm standard: 4.1 mm (116 pixels 102.66% f 4 mm) - 1097 area 33.1210 diameter - 102.85% fr +0.19% errr 4.0 mm (113 pixels 100.00% f 4 mm) - 1038 area 32.2180 diameter - 100.05% fr +0.05% errr 3.9 mm (111 pixels 98.23% f 4 mm) - 998 area 31.5914 diameter - 98.10% fr -0.13% errr 3.8 mm (108 pixels 95.58% f 4 mm) - 938 area 30.6268 diameter - 95.11% fr -0.47% errr 10 5 0-5 -10 Fixatin Accuracy (Remte, Head Free-t-Mve) 0.5 Percentage f Fixatins Accuracy was assessed withut a head supprt using the Remte Mde fllwing a 13-pint calibratin.
