OS (e.g. Win10): Win7 PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): v.3.1.2 Standard Standalone? (y/n) Yes What are you trying to achieve?:
I guess this is a broad question but hoping to be pointed in the right direction from others experiences.
I’m trying to now integrate eye-tracking into an existing PsychoPy Builder script that I’ve put together. We use a Tobii X3-120 eye-tracker in our lab on a Win7 system. In the past, I’ve always created my eye-tracking experimenters using E-Prime with Tobii commands. I’m now in the process of moving over to PsychoPy (hopefully forevermore!)
However, I’m struggled to figure out the best way to get started as there seem to be lots of different ways to approach this. I’m still a beginner coder and trying to figure out which method would work best for me.
I have a copy of the psychopy book and had begun working from that. However, from reading different online posts and topics here on the forum it seems there are other ways to approach this. For example:
For those who use Tobii eye-trackers or perhaps have also recently moved from E-Prime to PsychoPy - what would you recommend? Whilst I see similarities across all guides, they all seem to vary slightly!
Just another attempt to see if there is anyone who would be willing to share their recommendations/experiences of using the above resources to integrate Tobii eye-tracking into Builder?
@matiasfduque and @Leidy sorry guys been busy with work and the current situation has not helped at all. Please let me know if you’re still having problems with integrating Tobii into your experiments and maybe I will skype/FT/zoom you to talk about it?
As part of my experiment, I want to record eye tracking data from young infants. Following this and other posts, I see that there is a way to link psychopy with eye trackers to calibrate and record data. However, I would like to further control the psychopy experiment presentation based on eye tracking data (e.g. Skip trial when participants looked away from the screen for over one second). Does anybody know if such real-time eye-tracking-driven psychopy manipulation is possible? I ve read the Titta toolbox paper and it seems possible but before I buy a new eye tracker, I would like to be sure about feasibility.
Does anybody have any experience with this? If so, are there also recommendations as to which eye tracker to purchase?
I was wondering if you found a way to do that in PsychoPy. I have to implement the same sort of design with young children as well. Did you end up doing it with Titta Toolbox ?
Does anyone have any example Psychopy experiment files were they have used a Tobii eye-tracker? I have a Tobii ProX3-120 and I for several trials in my experiment I want to know which quadrant the participant looked at the most.
Hi @aleksandernitka, I used your eye tracking guide (on GitHub) recently. PsychoPy has moved their eye tracking component from dependency to plugin after version 2023.1.1, some of your code (e.g., expInfo[‘Eye Tracker’]) is not compatible with the current version. Do you have plan to update it or could you please point out the alternative method that I can have your code up and running, thanks a lot!
I have already installed this. When trying to run calibration (at the very beginning of my experiment) I get the below issues:

See the attached file (it is just an example file I created to test if Eye Tracking works).
Many thanks! I have tried using the ‘reading’ experiment with my Tobii eye-tracker information but it still give me the below error. Slightly different but it looks like the same problem. I will keep trying with a different approach than the ET components but any tips for debugging this would be great!

It may be something to do specifically with Tobii X3-120?
Hi, sorry for slow reply. I had been using 2022.2.5 but it still returned the above error.
However, I downloaded the files from the link in that post you shared and it seems to be (somewhat) working! I have managed to get the calibration to work and when trying to antisaccade experiment Becca shared it seems to work so far and save data regardin ROIs (link here for anyone interested)
Many thanks!! But one thing I still can’t get to work is the validation component. The screen gets stuck when revealing the results of the validation and the task doesn’t move forward. Is validation absolutely necessary and if so is there a way to get it to work?
