The processor called "Eye Tracking" can interface with the commonly used eye tracking systems such as ISCAN (http://www.iscaninc.com/) or search coil.
Eye tracking information (x,y, pupil) are sent over serial port or two analog ADC channels and transmitted to GUI processors using a unique message code (EYE_POSITION). The information can be saved to disk using the PSTH sink module.
To allow proper visualization, network events module can listen for specific messages that indicate how the signal should be calibrated.
To define the position of a fixations spot, simply send a TCP/IP message using 0MQ to NetworkEvents with the following format:
"FixationSpotPosition <X> <Y> <ScreenWidth> <ScreenHeight>"
To indicate that your animal is actually fixating at that position, send the following message:
"FixationSpotPosition <X> <Y> <ScreenWidth> <ScreenHeight>"
Future directions:
Integrate plotting of eye position as a function of trials into PSTH.
