We recently proposed a method that allows dichoptic visual stimulus presentation and binocular eye tracking simultaneously1. The key is the combination of an infrared eye tracker and the corresponding infrared-transparent mirrors. This manuscript provides an in depth protocol for initial setup and everyday operation.

Modification of existing multielectrode array or patch clamp equipment makes the ex vivo electroretinogram more widely accessible. Improved methods to record and maintain ex vivo light responses facilitate the study of photoreceptor and ON-bipolar cell function in the healthy retina, animal models of eye diseases, and human donor retinas.

Eye Tracking in Cognitive Experiments

Eye tracking as the name suggests involves tracking of eye-movements. It is a non-invasive, sensitive tool that quantifies and measures eye-movements to describe an individuals' cognitive state. An eye-movement between two fixation points is called a saccade, which is one of the fastest motor movements in our body. By observing the profiles of these eye movements, scientists can better understand neural deficits in patients with cognitive impairments. In this video, we will first look at an...

Eye movement monitoring (or eye tracking) reveals where in space the eyes linger, when and for how long. Here, we demonstrate how eye tracking can be used to investigate the integrity of memory in multiple participant populations, without requiring verbal, or otherwise explicit, reports.

Camera-based systems detect features such as the pupil and corneal reflection, then use those measurements to estimate gaze direction. The setup connects these eye-based signals with locations in the viewing space, allowing researchers to analyze visual behavior as recorded measurements rather than relying only on observation. This mechanism supports precise study of how people inspect visual stimuli.
Calibration aligns the system’s eye measurements with specific positions on a screen or in the surrounding environment. This alignment makes it possible to relate recorded gaze to the visual material presented to a participant. If calibration is not handled carefully, the resulting recording may be difficult to interpret in relation to the stimulus locations used in a psychological experiment.
Participant posture, viewing distance, and lighting are important setup conditions because they affect the quality and consistency of the recording. Keeping these factors controlled helps the system maintain a stable relationship between detected eye features and the viewed scene. In psychology studies, this preparation strengthens the reliability of measurements used to examine visual attention and related behavior.
A basic workflow includes preparing the recording system, establishing suitable participant posture and viewing distance, controlling the lighting, and calibrating measurements to the screen or surrounding environment. Researchers then consider data quality before relying on the recording for analysis. Treating these stages as one connected process helps produce measurements that can be interpreted alongside the visual stimuli.
Reliable recordings allow psychologists to examine where people look, when they look there, and how their visual behavior changes across tasks. This supports research on attention, reading, memory, decision-making, and responses to visual stimuli. The setup therefore provides a measurement foundation for connecting observable gaze patterns with the cognitive activities investigated in an experiment.
The calibration target should match the visual setting researchers need to measure. Screen-based calibration links gaze estimates to positions on a display, while calibration for the surrounding environment relates measurements to locations outside the screen. Choosing the appropriate reference space ensures that gaze data correspond to the visual context in which the psychological task occurs.
