saccade_VTI: Velocity threshold identification of saccades
Description
Use the velocity threshold algorithm from Salvucci & Goldberg (2000) to determine saccadic eye movements.
Returns a summary of the saccades found per trial, including start and end coordinates, timing, duration, mean velocity, and peak velocity.
A dataframe with raw data (time, x, y, trial) for one participant
sample_rate
sample rate of the eye-tracker. If default of NULL, then it will be computed from the timestamp data and the number of samples
threshold
velocity threshold (degrees of VA / sec) to be used for identifying saccades
min_dur
minimum duration (ms) expected for saccades. This helps to avoid identification of very short saccades occurring at the boundary of velocity threshold
Details
Analyses data separately for each unique combination of values in pID and trial.
