Check a session

Inspect a recording and save the trials that need attention.

1. Open the session

Import your tables, or select a loaded dataset. Check its Recording setup against the screen used in the experiment.

2. Inspect a trial

Select a participant and trial in Scanpath. Turn on Word boxes and inspect:

• whether the boxes match the stimulus screenshot, if available;
• how fixations sit relative to the words;
• unexpected gaps, shifts or off-screen positions.

For a consistent offset, check coordinate units and screen setup.

3. Replay the recording

Turn on Animate to inspect fixation order and timing. To mark short, long or out-of-bounds fixations, use Plot controls → Filters & highlights → Fixations and choose Highlight. Gaps and unusual scanpaths alone do not establish their cause.

4. Record the review

In Annotations, tag a trial review and note what you observed. Use the trial picker's arrows to continue through the session.

5. Save the review

Export stars, tags and notes from Data Management → Annotations → Export. The record includes participant and trial IDs. Use Open on an annotation row to return to that trial.

For exclusion decisions, follow Exclude unsuitable trials.
