What Are the Key Features of Tobii Pro Lab for Designing, Recording, and Analyzing Eye Tracking Studies?
Multiple software packages are no longer necessary thanks to Tobii Pro Lab's end-to-end research methodology. Within a single platform, researchers may design experiments, capture synchronized eye tracking data, review recordings, carry out sophisticated analyses, and export results that are ready for publication. The program's three main modules - Design, Record, and Analyze which allows researchers to oversee an eye tracking experiment's whole lifecycle.
Design Module
For experiment creation, Tobii Pro Lab includes a powerful visual experiment designer that requires no programming experience.
Researchers can build experiments using:
Images
Videos
Websites
Screen recordings
Audio files
Text stimuli
Combinations of multiple media types within a single stimulus
The Design module supports:
Randomized trials
Blocked trials
Dynamically generated trials using spreadsheet-based variables
Stimuli can advance based on:
Time
Keyboard input
Mouse clicks
Participant gaze
This enables gaze-contingent experimental designs.
Record Module
During data collection, Tobii Pro Lab synchronizes stimulus presentation with eye tracking data.
The Record module also supports:
Participant cameras
Scene cameras
Microphones
External event markers
Researchers can:
Monitor calibration quality
Record multiple participants
Annotate sessions
Synchronize recordings with:
EEG
GSR
ECG
fNIRS
The software is optimized for precise timing, making it suitable for:
Reaction-time experiments
Cognitive experiments
where synchronization accuracy is critical.
Analyze Module
The Analyze module includes a comprehensive suite of visualization and quantitative analysis tools.
Researchers can:
Replay recordings
Inspect gaze behavior frame-by-frame
Generate heat maps
Generate gaze plots
Generate opacity maps
Generate fixation plots
Generate scan paths
Define Areas of Interest (AOIs)
Define Time of Interest (TOIs)
Calculate glance metrics
Calculate fixation metrics
Calculate reading metrics
Compare participants
Data Export
Both raw eye tracking data and pre-calculated metrics can be exported for further analysis using:
MATLAB
Python
R
SPSS
Other statistical software
Summary
Tobii Pro Lab's Design, Record, and Analyze modules offer a comprehensive eye tracking workflow. Heat maps, gaze plots, opacity maps, fixation plots, scan paths, Areas of Interest (AOIs), Time of Interest (TOIs), glance metrics, fixation metrics, reading metrics, and participant comparisons can all be used by researchers to analyze recordings. They can also synchronize eye tracking with participant cameras, scene cameras, microphones, event markers, EEG, GSR, ECG, and fNIRS. Additionally, the program may export pre-calculated metrics and raw eye tracking data for use in MATLAB, Python, R, SPSS, and other statistical programs.
