What Research Applications Is Tobii Pro Lab Best Suited For?

Tobii Pro Lab for Behaviour Research

Tobii Pro Lab supports a wide range of eye tracking research applications across academic, clinical, industrial, and commercial domains.

Cognitive Psychology

Researchers use Tobii Pro Lab to investigate:

  • Attention

  • Perception

  • Memory

  • Executive function

  • Decision-making

  • Cognitive workload

The software provides:

  • Pre-processing tools

  • Fixation analysis

  • Saccade analysis

  • Areas of Interest (AOI) analysis

to help reveal how participants process visual information during experimental tasks.

Reading & Language Research

Tobii Pro Lab includes specialized reading analysis capabilities that can automatically generate Areas of Interest based on:

  • Characters

  • Words

  • Sentences

  • User-defined text units

Researchers studying:

  • Reading fluency

  • Dyslexia

  • Language acquisition

  • Bilingualism

  • Text comprehension

can perform detailed analyses without manually creating hundreds of AOIs.

Recent versions also introduced:

  • Dedicated text containers

to simplify the creation of reading experiments.

UX & Usability Research

The software supports evaluation of:

  • Websites

  • Software interfaces

  • Mobile applications

  • Medical devices

  • Vehicle HMIs

  • Consumer electronics

Researchers can use:

  • Heat maps

  • Gaze plots

  • Glance metrics

  • Areas of Interest (AOIs)

  • Participant comparisons

to identify:

  • Navigation problems

  • Interface confusion

  • Visual attention patterns that influence usability

Human factors engineers also use Tobii Pro Lab to study:

  • Workload

  • Situational awareness

  • Operator performance

in complex environments.

Additional Research Applications

Beyond these applications, Tobii Pro Lab supports research in:

  • Developmental psychology

  • Education

  • Healthcare

  • Neuroscience

  • Market research

  • Consumer behavior

  • Automotive research

  • Aviation

  • Ergonomics

  • Multimodal physiological experiments

Summary

Cognitive psychology, reading and language research, UX and usability, human factors, developmental psychology, education, healthcare, neuroscience, market research, consumer behavior, automotive research, aviation, ergonomics, and multimodal physiological experiments are all areas in which Tobii Pro Lab excels. Comprehensive eye tracking research across a variety of fields is made possible by its support for fixation, saccade, and Areas of Interest (AOI) studies, as well as specialized reading analysis, heat maps, gaze plots, glance metrics, and participant comparisons.
