[open] EyeTribe and PyGaze

edited September 2015 in PyGaze

I've been trying to get an EyeTribe tracker working with PyGaze. I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot a problem with logging the tracker fixation output.

The setup is the WinPython-PyGaze-0.5.1 self-contained installation downloaded from the PyGaze website.

To test the setup, I have taken the scripts experiment.py and constants.py and folders img and data from Edwin Dalmaijer's EyeTribe test (https://github.com/esdalmaijer/EyeTribe_test/tree/master/experiment) and put them in folder inside the "examples" folder of the pygaze module in WinPython-PyGaze-0.5.1. My thought here is not to replicate the experiment but to use it to make sure the setup is working.

If I comment out the saccade portion of experiment.py, the script runs through fine, but doesn't log the eyetracker fixation data. It produces log output like this as shown in Example A below. For some reason, when the eyetracker calibration finishes, the time stops updating and data that should be written as a result of the call tracker.start_recording() doesn't get written.

However, if I comment out tracker.calibrate() and use the EyeTribe tool to calibrate before running the script, the log contains fixation data as in Example B.

It seems that pygaze may be having trouble accessing the tracker after running tracker.calibrate(). Can anyone help me figure out what I need to do to get the script to run?

    Hi David,

    Thanks for trying to figure this one out yourself before turning to the forum, I appreciate the information to debug your issue with!

    For starters, the saccade bit you commented out doesn't work due to the lack of data coming in. The repeating time stamps are due to the simple heuristic PyTribe uses for time-stamping messages, which is to use the time of the last known sample. Without any samples coming in, the last known timestamp is from the calibration.

    Despite the logs, I can't quite figure out what's going wrong. I agree it seems to have to do with the calibration. Did you notice anything weird while doing it? Did it cut out before finishing all points?

    Could I ask you to post the content of an EyeTribe log from two experimental sessions: one with and one without a call to calibrate? You can find logs in the following folder:

    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EyeTribe\Logs

    Where USERNAME is your actual user name.

    Best,

    Edwin

    Thanks Edwin!

    Here are the EyeTribe logs for a run with and without eyetracker.calibrate() in experiment.py.

    Without: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_tWlE-q6acAcWRNVW92ZTRKNkU

    The datafiles corresponding to those runs are:

    Without: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_tWlE-q6acAWkNzRldlRTFpT2M

    I also have a MATLAB installation with PTB, so I ran the Example_PTB.m script from the EyeTribe for MATLAB software. Here the calibration works and the data file seems correct. If possible I'd like to use python though since it seems more flexible than PTB.

    Data: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_tWlE-q6acAUXhObkQzMzhKOXM

    When I run calibration using python, there is a JSON error in the EyeTribe log. I hope it is meaningful!

    I made a little progress, perhaps, by seeing whether the python program would run properly if I replace the version of pytribe.py in the WinPython-PyGaze-0.5.1 installation with the one in EyeTribe for MATLAB.

    The JSON error in the EyeTribe log is still there, but data is now written to the pygaze log.

    Just a quick answer, to let you know I haven't forgotten about this. I'm currently away, and have no EyeTribe handy, so I can't actually test anything.

    I have a feeling the issue might arise from a mismatch between versions of the EyeTribe Server and PyTribe. Specifically, the error messages indicate the calibration point command is not understood by the EyeTribe Server. This is odd, because that code works on the versions I have used and those that I have seen others using.

    Three options remain: 1) You've downloaded the newest EyeTribe Server version and functionality broke there, 2) You're working with an older version of the EyeTribe Server, or 3) Something else entirely. From your log I can see you're using v0.9.56, but I can't access my PC to check whether this is newer or later. Sorry!

    Will check back in a week or two, when I return to my lab.

    Thanks Edwin. 0.9.56 is the latest version of the server. I might try finding an older version and checking to see if it works.

  • edited 2:51PM

    My test version was 0.9.41, so there might be something there. Will report back after more elaborate testing.

    Hi guys,

    It might not be fully relevant to this topic but I am curious about the benchmarks provided at the beginning of the file.
    For example,
    fixation threshold: 1.5 degrees
    speed threshold: 35 degrees/second
    acceleration threshold: 9500 degrees/second**2

    These thresholds seem important in fixation and saccade detection but it appears that the PyGaze in OpenSesame only gives you the raw data. So should I just ignore this information? In fact for the last project I imported the data into OGAMA 5.0 and used its algorithms to do post-experiment fixation detection...

    Another question is, where I can find the explanations of the headers (e.g., rawx, rawy, avgx, etc.) of the data file?

    @Edwin @DLC @sebastiaan Thanks guys!

    Han

  • edited February 2016

    Hi Han,

    The thresholds are only used in PyGaze's online event detection functions, i.e. wait_for_*. They do not affect the calibration or the data collection.

    The headers are simply the values that the EyeTribe produces. See their website (www.theeyetribe.com) for more info. Feel free to ask about whatever you can't find :)

    Cheers,

    Edwin

    PS. On the original topic: I've lost track of tech and software projects a bit, for various reasons, but hope to get back to them soon. Sorry about the delay.
