Highlighted text

Highlight a selected text span alongside its fixations.

  1. Load a Words table with a true/false column that marks the words to highlight, and your Fixations table. Open the dataset in the Scanpath view and pick a trial in Select trial.
  2. In Stimulus ▾, tick Highlight words and choose that column.
  3. Under Style, keep Mark text and pick the highlight color in the box beside it. To show only the highlighted text and the fixations, turn off Saccades.
