Myex: A MATLAB Interface for the Tobii Eyex Eye-Tracker

Abstract

Myex is a MATLAB interface for the Tobii EyeX eye-tracker. It allows MATLAB users to receive incoming data from the eye-tracker, by providing a data buffer that can receive data from the EyeX, and be queried by the user on demand. Myex enables Matlab users to take advantage of low-cost, portable eye-tracking technology, ideal for use in gaze-contingent psychophysical paradigms, or for users looking to develop assistive devices for individuals with impaired mobility. Funding statement: This work was supported by the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre located at (both) Moorfields Eye Hospital and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology.
