GazeBase#

GazeBase dataset

GazeBase dataset [Griffith et al., 2021].

This dataset includes monocular (left eye) eye tracking data from 322 participants captured over a period of 37 months. Participants attended up to 9 rounds during this time frame, with each round consisting of two contiguous sessions.

Eye movements are recorded at a sampling frequency of 1000 Hz using an EyeLink 1000 video-based eye tracker and are provided as positional data in degrees of visual angle.

In each of the two sessions per round, participants are instructed to complete a series of tasks, including a fixation task (FIX), a horizontal saccade task (HSS), a random saccade task (RAN), a reading task (TEX), two free viewing video tasks (VD1 and VD2) and a gaze-driven gaming task (BLG).
