What Types of Data Can Tobii Pro Spectrum Record and Analyze?
Researchers may study visual attention, cognitive processing, perception, and neurological function with remarkable detail because to Tobii Pro Spectrum's extensive collection of eye movement data. Fundamentally, the system synchronizes high-precision timestamps, pupil diameter, eye openness, binocular gaze location, and gaze origin at sampling frequencies between 60 and 1200 Hz.
Eye Tracking Data
Tobii Pro Spectrum records:
Binocular gaze position
Gaze origin
Pupil diameter
Eye openness
High-precision timestamps
These measurements are synchronized at sampling frequencies ranging from:
60 Hz
120 Hz
150 Hz
300 Hz
600 Hz
1200 Hz
This data provides the foundation for analyzing:
Fixations
Saccades
Smooth pursuit movements
Micro-saccades
Ocular tremors
Blink behaviour
Pupillary responses
Eye Openness & Eye Image Data
In addition to gaze data, Tobii Pro Spectrum provides:
Eye Openness Data
Individual eye openness data for each eye, making the system suitable for:
Fatigue studies
Blink analysis
Vigilance research
Cognitive workload investigations
Eye Image Streams
Researchers can also access:
Zoomed-in eye images during tracking
Full-frame camera images during gaze recovery
These image streams can be useful for:
Validating data quality
Developing custom image-processing algorithms
Data Analysis in Tobii Pro Lab
When combined with Tobii Pro Lab, researchers can transform raw measurements into meaningful behavioural metrics.
The software supports:
Heat maps
Scan paths
Gaze plots
Areas of Interest (AOIs)
Time of Interest (TOIs)
Fixation statistics
Visit counts
Dwell times
Participant comparisons
These analyses help researchers understand:
Where participants looked
How visual attention evolved throughout an experiment
Data Export & Advanced Analysis
For laboratories performing advanced statistical or computational analysis, Tobii Pro Spectrum supports exporting:
Raw gaze data
Associated metadata
through the Tobii Pro SDK.
This enables researchers to analyze data using:
MATLAB
Python
R
SPSS
Custom machine learning workflows
making the system suitable for both conventional behavioural research and cutting-edge computational neuroscience.
Summary
At sampling frequencies between 60 Hz and 1200 Hz, Tobii Pro Spectrum captures synchronized binocular gaze location, gaze origin, pupil diameter, eye openness, high-precision timestamps, and eye image streams. In addition to exporting raw gaze data and metadata for further analysis in MATLAB, Python, R, SPSS, or custom machine learning workflows, Tobii Pro Lab and the Tobii Pro SDK allow researchers to visualize eye movement behavior using heat maps, scan paths, gaze plots, AOIs, TOIs, fixation statistics, visit counts, dwell times, and participant comparisons.
