Dual input stream transformer for vertical drift correction in eye-tracking reading data

1 code implementation • 10 Nov 2023 • Thomas M. Mercier, Marcin Budka, Martin R. Vasilev, Julie A. Kirkby, Bernhard Angele, Timothy J. Slattery

We introduce a novel Dual Input Stream Transformer (DIST) for the challenging problem of assigning fixation points from eye-tracking data collected during passage reading to the line of text that the reader was actually focused on.

Distraction by auditory novelty during reading: Evidence for disruption in saccade planning, but not saccade execution

1 code implementation • 31 Oct 2020 • Martin R. Vasilev, Fabrice B. R. Parmentier, Julie A. Kirkby

Recent work has suggested that distraction also occurs during reading as fixation durations increased when a deviant sound was presented at the fixation onset of words.

Neurons and Cognition

Do readers use character information when programming return-sweep saccades?

1 code implementation • 2 Nov 2019 • Martin R. Vasilev, Victoria I. Adedeji, Calvin Laursen, Marcin Budka, Timothy J. Slattery

In this study, we tested whether return-sweep saccades are also guided by font size information and whether this guidance depends on visual acuity of the return-sweep target area.
