| % pop_importeyetracker() - import and synchronize simultaneously recorded | |
| % eye tracking data and store it as additional data channels in | |
| % the EEG structure. Loads the MATLAB copy of the raw ET data | |
| % generated by pop_parsesmi() or pop_parseeyelink(). | |
| % Synchronizes ET and EEG based on common events present in both | |
| % recordings. The eye tracking data will be resampled/linearly | |
| % interpolated to match the sampling frequency of the EEG. | |
| % If available, eye movement events (blink/saccade/fixation | |
| % detected online) can be imported from the ET raw data (for | |
| % Eyelink only). | |
| % | |
| % Usage: | |
| % >> EEG = pop_importeyetracker(EEG, matFileToLoad, startEndEvent, ... | |
| % importColumns, newLabels, importEyeEvents, doRegression, ... | |
| % filterEyetrack, plotFig) | |
| % | |
| % Inputs: | |
| % EEG - EEG dataset (continuous data) | |
| % for which there is a parallel ET recording | |
| % matFileToLoad - <string> file path to eyetracker mat-file | |
| % generated by function parsesmi or parseeyelink | |
| % startEndEvent - <vector with two values> event codes shared in the | |
| % EEG and ET recording for synchronization. A vector | |
| % with two numerical values is expected: | |
| % [startevent, endevent], e.g. [102 202] | |
| % importColumns - <double> array of indices of eyetracker columns to | |
| % import, e.g., [3 5 7] | |
| % newLabels - <cell> of <string> of length(importColumns) which | |
| % containts the channel labels of the newly | |
| % imported ET data columns, | |
| % e.g. {'gaze_x', 'gaze_y', 'pupilsize'} | |
| % importEyeEvents - <boolean> [0|1] set TRUE if you want to import | |
| % eye movement events (e.g. saccades) that were | |
| % detected online by the ET recording software | |
| % (works for Eyelink only). Imported events will be | |
| % stored in the EEG.events structure. | |
| % doRegression - <boolean> [0|1] | |
| % FALSE: interpolate data only based on the latency of | |
| % the start-event and end-event | |
| % TRUE: estimate latency of start-event and end-event | |
| % based on linear regression using all events that are | |
| % shared by the EEG and ET recording. For GUI use, the | |
| % default setting for doRegression is TRUE. | |
| % filterEyetrack - <boolean> [0|1] {default: 0} | |
| % FALSE: resample the eye tracking data to the sampling | |
| % frequency of the EEG (using linear interpolation), | |
| % but do not apply any filters to the eye tracking data | |
| % TRUE: filter the eye tracking data at the Nyquist | |
| % frequency to prevent aliasing/image artifacts that | |
| % may result from downsampling or upsampling the ET | |
| % data to the sampling frequency of the EEG. This | |
| % function is NOT YET IMPLEMENTED so the setting has no | |
| % effect at the moment. | |
| % | |
| % plotFig - <boolean> [0|1] set TRUE to plot figure showing the | |
| % quality of synchronisation (recommended) | |
| % | |
| % searchRadius - radius (in samples) around EEG events to search for | |
| % matching (shared) events of the same type in the ET. | |
| % This value is important to identify instances of | |
| % shared events that were transmitted between the | |
| % startEvent and endEvent. | |
| % The algorithm will search within plusminus | |
| % 'searchRadius' samples around each EEG event for an | |
| % ET event of the same type (e.g. '123'). | |
| % Unless you have trouble with synchronization, or use | |
| % a very low (e.g. 100 Hz) or very high (e.g. 1000 Hz) | |
| % sampling rate for the EEG, we recommend sticking to | |
| % the default value of 4. | |
| % However, it may be a good idea to increase the | |
| % searchRadius in case of very high sampling rates | |
| % (e.g. 2000 Hz) or in the case of errors that can happen | |
| % if multiple events of the same type (e.g. '123') were | |
| % send in immediate succession (that is, less than | |
| % 2*searchRadius+1 samples apart) during the experiment. | |
| % [DEFAULT: 4 samples] | |
| % | |
| % | |
| % Outputs: | |
| % EEG - EEG dataset (with synchronized eye tracking data) | |
| % | |
| % See also: | |
| % pop_parsesmi, pop_parseeyelink, pop_parsetobii, synchronize | |
| % | |
| % Example: An call of pop_importeyetracker() might look like this: | |
| % >> EEG = pop_importeyetracker(EEG,'C:\\eyedata.mat',[103 203],[3 7],... | |
| % {'Gaze_x' 'Pupil_Dia_(mm)'},0,1,0,5,1) | |
| % | |
| % Explanation: load the parsed ET data stored in "eyedata.mat" that was | |
| % generated by pop_parsesmi, pop_parseeyelink, or pop_parsetobii. Use the | |
| % first event of type "103" and the last event of type "203" as the startEvent | |
| % and endEvent for synchronization, respectively. Import the third and | |
| % seventh numerical data column from the ET raw data. These columns contain | |
| % the horizontal gaze position and pupil diameter and are named accordingly. | |
| % Do not import eye movement events from the raw data. Do a linear | |
| % regression on all shared events to optimize the latency estimation for | |
| % the startevent and endevent. Do not filter the eye tracking data. | |
| % Plot a figure that informs about the precision of synchronization. Set | |
| % the searchRadius to identify matching triggers to 5 samples. | |
