Iriscope analysis workspace showing a heatmap over a mental-rotation stimulus, five polygon AOIs, the selected participant and a session timeline.
Heatmap and image AOIs in the same workspace, with the selected participant, stimulus and session timeline in view.

Scanpaths · Similarity · Search · Clusters

Scanpaths, sequences & strategy clusters.

Follow individual paths, compare them, find a specific sequence or discover shared gaze patterns. These are separate tools in the same project.

Real Iriscope view: compare two participants’ parallel scanpaths, AOI order and timing.

Follow the gaze

Scanpaths

Compare participants side by side on a shared time axis. Follow AOI order, dwell and playback in parallel scanpaths.

Compare paths

Scanpath similarity

Compare participants or items with similarity matrices. Inspect AOI order, timing and spatial path differences using the selected method.

Find a pattern

Sequence search

Search sequences such as AOI 1 → AOI 3 → AOI 5. Highlight matches, allow intermediate AOIs or show only matching paths.

Discover shared patterns

Automatic strategy clusters

Group similar scanpaths automatically. Review representative paths, members, cluster quality and the recommended number of clusters.

Heatmap and image AOIs in the same workspace, with the selected participant, stimulus and session timeline in view.

01 / Iriscope

Visual analytics & playback

Explore heatmaps, scanpaths, AOIs and gaze overlays on your stimuli. Use the timeline to follow the recording in context.

Iriscope dwell-time distribution for five image AOIs in one selected participant and stimulus, showing percentage shares, time values and the calculation summary.
Where did gaze time go? Dwell-time shares and durations for five AOIs in one selected participant and stimulus.

02 / Iriscope

Metrics & AOI statistics

Calculate fixations, dwell time, visits, reading measures and more. Inspect results across participants, stimuli and meaningful regions.

Iriscope import summary for 48 HDF5 recordings and 28 stimuli, listing event counts, gaze samples and sampling intervals before metric calculation.
Import complete: inspect recordings, gaze samples and sampling intervals before calculating the metrics.

03 / Iriscope

Recording & project import

Import Tobii HDF5, EyeLink ASC and mapped CSV/TSV tables. Bring PeriTag AOIs and their stimulus context into the same project.

Iriscope data-quality dashboard for one selected participant and stimulus, with quality score, tracking loss, valid gaze, sampling rate and the recorded session timeline.
Review the selected recording before interpreting results: validity, tracking loss, sampling rate and quality rules remain visible.

04 / Iriscope

Data quality & correction

Review validity, tracking loss and events. Preview reversible spatial corrections before applying them and recalculating affected results.

Iriscope Robustness Lab with a four-by-four event-agreement matrix comparing IDT, IDT robust, IVT and IVT robust on the same recorded case.
Same recording, four stored detection methods. The event-agreement matrix shows where their fixation segmentation agrees and differs.

05 / Iriscope

Robustness Lab

Compare stored fixation methods on the same recording. See event agreement and how detection choices change counts, durations and AOI results.

Iriscope Metric Inspector for an IVT-robust AOI transition count, showing its definition, export field, available and missing values, calculation path and actual project results.
From value to method: inspect the metric definition, calculation basis, availability and ordered path from source data to result.

06 / Iriscope

Metric Inspector & provenance

Inspect a metric’s definition, availability and calculation path. Keep the data, method settings and analysis history attached to the result.

Reading · Signals · Sequence · Time · Export

More tools for your research question.

Reading: words & lines

Inspect first-pass reading, regressions, rereading and word/line AOIs, with the recorded reading layout in view.

Pupil, blinks & eye openness

Examine pupil responses, blink measures and eye openness using the channels recorded in your study.

Signals & eye-movement events

Inspect signal timelines and event measures, including saccades, microsaccades, smooth pursuit and binocular analyses where the data support them.

Transitions & entropy

See how gaze moves between regions through transition matrices, networks and AOI-sequence measures.

Recurrence & cross-recurrence

Inspect repeated patterns in one sequence or shared temporal structure between two, including recurrence views and lag profiles.

Condition & value search

Combine metric thresholds, signals and AOI sequences with AND, OR and NOT. Review hits and save timed matches as analysis windows.

Named analysis windows

Compare study phases with absolute, relative or participant-specific ranges and calculate their results separately.

Peripheral viewing geometry

Inspect foveal, parafoveal and peripheral zones and time-matched AOI intersections using the stored display geometry.

Result exports & method reports

Prepare global, AOI and pairwise result tables. Export selected metrics together with the method and provenance context.
