ABSTRACT
The pupil-measuring capability of video eye trackers can detect the task-evoked pupillary response: subtle changes in pupil size which indicate cognitive load. We performed several experiments to measure cognitive load using a remote video eye tracker, which demonstrate two extensions to current research in this area. First, we show that cognitive pupillometry can be extended from head-mounted to remote eye tracking systems. Second, we demonstrate the feasibility of a more fine-grained approach to analyzing pupil size data gathered with an eye tracker, which provides more detail about the timing and magnitude of changes in cognitive load.

The pupillometric precision of a remote video eye tracker
ETRA '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Symposium on Eye-Tracking Research & ApplicationsTo determine the accuracy and precision of pupil measurements made with the Tobii 1750 remote video eye tracker, we performed a formal metrological study with respect to a calibrated reference instrument, a medical pupillometer. We found that the eye ...
Fixation-aligned pupillary response averaging
ETRA '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Symposium on Eye-Tracking Research & ApplicationsWe propose a new way of analyzing pupil measurements made in conjunction with eye tracking: fixation-aligned pupillary response averaging, in which short windows of continuous pupil measurements are selected based on patterns in eye tracking data, ...
Frequency analysis of task evoked pupillary response and eye-movement
ETRA '04: Proceedings of the 2004 symposium on Eye tracking research & applicationsThis paper describes the influence of eye blinks on frequency analysis and power spectrum difference for task-evoked pupillography and eye-movement during an experiment which consisted of ocular following tasks and oral calculation tasks with three ...
