# Comprehensive dataset of features describing eye-gaze dynamics across multiple tasks

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a dataset of eye-gaze dynamics from 251 participants performing various tasks, useful for studying visual attention and cognitive processes.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in providing a comprehensive, anonymized dataset of eye-tracking features across multiple experimental paradigms.

## Key findings

- The dataset includes timestamped gaze coordinates, pupil sizes, and event classifications like fixations and saccades.
- It was collected using high-frequency eye-tracking hardware and processed into structured files via an automated pipeline.
- The dataset supports research in oculomotor control, perceptual processing, and assistive technologies.

## Abstract

We present a comprehensive dataset collected from 251 participants, which includes diverse features characterizing eye-gaze dynamics. Participants performed several tasks per session, typical in eye-tracking research: vanishing saccade, cued saccade, flickering cross, rotating ball, and free viewing. Covering these experimental paradigms, the dataset enables analysis of human eye phenomena such as oculomotor control and perceptual processing. As features, the dataset includes timestamped gaze coordinates, pupil sizes, and event classifications, labelled as fixations, saccades, or blinks. All the data were recorded using the EyeLink Portable Duo eye-tracker hardware at 1000 Hz, and processed from raw EyeLink Data Format (EDF) files into structured files via an automated pipeline. The dataset was anonymized according to the Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research (SIKT) ethical standards. Possible applications of these datasets are the study of visual attention, cognitive science, and assistive technology.
