Experimental psychology goes online: eye-tracking and multi-user experiments with LabVanced

Giulia Calignano (University of Padova)

Recent global changes forced to move research from the labs to participants’ home.

To satisfy this request, many tools have been proposed. For instance, LabVanced provides open-source and available algorithms (https://github.com/Labvanced) that by means of deep learning modeling for webcam-based eye tracking, give to the researchers the opportunity to collect oculometry measures such as gaze-maps, looking times, saccade latency, etc. This software offers libraries of functions that evaluate temporal (in millisecond) and spatial accuracy (in pixel) of data collected from different devices. Moreover, it offers the possibility to manage a great variety of

stimuli and even multi-user experiments with multiple subjects interacting in the same session. In the present brief talk, I will show some basics on LabVanced functioning (virtues and vices) applied to some traditional paradigms in experimental psychology.
