Check a session

Inspect a recording and save the trials that need attention.

These steps use the Full mode: switch to it in the top bar of the Scanpath view, or add ui=full to the app's address (Essentials and Full).

1. Open the session

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

2. Inspect a trial

In the Scanpath view, pick a trial in Select trial. Turn on Word boxes and check:

• whether the boxes match the stimulus image, if you have one;
• where the 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 follow the fixation order and timing. To mark short or long fixations, or fixations outside the text, open Filters & highlights ▾ → Fixations and set Short, Long or Outside the text to Highlight. A gap or an unusual scanpath does not tell you its cause.

4. Record the review

In Annotations, tag the trial review and write what you observed in Notes. Use ◀ ▶ beside Select trial to move through the session.

5. Save the review

Export favorites, tags and notes from Data Management → Annotations → Export. The file includes participant and trial IDs. Open on an annotation row returns to that trial.

For exclusion decisions, follow Exclude unsuitable trials.
