mocet 0.0.6

Python package for head-motion corrected eye-tracking

Motion-corrected eyetracking (MoCET)

The MoCET (Motion-Corrected Eye-Tracking) Python package provides tools for compensating head movement-induced errors in eye-tracking data collected during fMRI experiments. This package integrates motion correction techniques with advanced eye-tracking algorithms to enhance gaze accuracy, particularly in dynamic environments where head movement is common.

Key Features:

• Head Motion Compensation: Implements a robust algorithm that leverages head motion parameters from fMRI data preprocessing to correct gaze position errors caused by head movements.
• Simulation Support: Includes tools for simulating head motion and its impact on eye-tracking data, enabling validation and testing of the correction algorithms.

Installation:

MoCET can be installed via pip:

pip install mocet
