Is there any alternative to zmq for running experiments via Matlab or Python?

what's wrong with zmq and python?

@user-1efa49 you could write a plugin for Pupil Capture that publishes data in a format required/desired by your setup.

@user-54376c getting zmq running with Matlab on Windows has been challenging

@wrp thank you for the suggestion. The format of the data is not the problem. Is there a simple way to synchronize the recording with a Psychopy protocol or Psychtoolbox (matlab) protocol without relying on zmq?

@user-1efa49 ZMQ is the base technology on which we have built our network api. You will have to build a custom plugin with a custom network api if you do not want to use ZMQ.

@user-1efa49 I understand that installing zmq for matlab is a pain to install. In my experience installing zmq for Python works like a charm on Windows. Therefore, I would recommend to build your experiment with PsychoPy. Once it is built, it is comparably easy to integrate the Pupil network API calls into the experiment using PsychoPys coder view.

@papr Got it! I'll give the zmq in Python on Windows a try.

@papr Is there a simple script example using PsychoPy to call (presumbly) zmq to synchronize recordings with the task - to help with setup code?

@user-1efa49 No, we do not have an explicit PsychoPy example yet. So far we only have explicit helper scripts that demonstrate how to use the network api, e.g. https://github.com/pupil-labs/pupil-helpers/blob/master/python/pupil_remote_control.py

@user-9cbfb2 has been able to integrate this script successfully into his PsychoPy experiment. Maybe he can share his results with you.

hello,

i would like to know if this system can be used in children with porblems (dyslexia, ADHD, autism)...a student of mine would like to make eye movements recoridng by developing visual task as visual searching, reflexives and volontary saccades etc... could some one be interested in some copperation with us (paris lab); thanks

Hi @user-cde04b there is published research already with similar participants/subjects. Please check out the citation list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZD6HDbjzrtRNB4VB0b7GFMaXVGKZYeI0zBOBEEPwvBI/edit#gid=0

Of specific interest to you might be this paper: "Exploring how material cues drive sensorimotor prediction across different levels of autistic-like traits"

Hello all,

I am currently involved in research that needs eye-tracking data from videos where the person wearing the tracker is moving (walking, running, driving, playing some sport, etc). Do you know of some recording repository that migh help me?

Thanks!
