The following table describes the purpose and use of each sample experiment.
For detailed information on the programming / API aspect of these samples,
please refer to the EyeLink Programmer’s guide.

Experiment

Purpose

Simple

This experiment is the most basic EyeLink sample
experiment that draws directly to the display.

Text

Template for an experiment that uses bitmaps to
display formatted pages of text.

Picture

Template for an experiment that uses bitmaps to
display pictures (BMP files).

eyedata

Template for an experiment that uses real-time link
data to display a gaze-position cursor, and plays back
data after the trial.

gcwindow

Template for an experiment that displays text and
pictures, using a large gaze-contingent window.

control

Template for an experiment that uses the participant’s
gaze position to select items from a grid of letters.

dynamic

Template experiment that includes several types of
dynamic displays (sinusoidal smooth pursuit, and
saccadic task).

broadcast

Template for an application that listens in on any
application, reproducing calibration targets and
displaying a gaze cursor (if real-time sample data is
enabled).

comm_listener
comm_simple

Templates that illustrate a dual-computer experiment.
The

comm_simple

template is a modified version of the

simple

template, which works with the

comm_listener

template. This illustrates how real-time data analysis
might be performed, by reproducing the display (based
on the TRIALID messages) and displaying a gaze
