Gaze Position Metrics.

Eye Tracking Metrics Definition

Area Pupil gaze area (width of screen viewed multiplied by height of screen viewed) averaged over the entire assessment—metrics include the mean and median for both the left and right eyes as well as the difference in area between the left and right eyes
Aspect Ratio Pupil gaze aspect ratio (height of screen viewed divided by width of screen viewed) averaged over the entire assessment—metrics include the mean and median for both the left and right eyes as well as the difference between the left and right eyes
BOX Score A binary classifier derived from a best subset regression model that combines many of the eye tracking metrics obtained from this assessment and has been used for diagnostic purposes
Distance Length of the visual path recording (X and Y coordinates with respect to the moving visual target)—metrics include the mean and variance of the distance across each segment of the screen (top, right, bottom left) for both the left and right eyes as well as the difference between the left and right eyes. Skew is also calculated (how far the mean is from the median) for all of the above categories
Height Visual path recording of the left and right sides of the screen (in Y coordinates)—metrics include the mean, median and variance for both the left and right eyes as well as the difference between the left and right eyes
Width Visual path recording of the top and bottom sides of the screen (in Y coordinates)—metrics include the mean, median and variance for both the left and right eyes as well as the difference between the left and right eyes
Velocity Velocity across each segment of the screen (top, right, bottom, left) for each eye as well as the difference between the left and right eyes
Blinks Number of total blinks, blink length for each eye for the entire assessment—metrics include mean and median blink length, number of blinks for each eye, as well as differences between the left and right eyes
