G24-K012: Eye Tracker

This lab is operated by the Pollmann Lab.

For questions, problems, or scheduling, contact Mikaella Sarrou.

NOTE: This lab is due to be overhauled in 2018. Thus this documentation is limited — at best.

Overview

The lab is used primarily for behavioral and eye tracking experiments.

Software

There are two Presentation Computers. One is a legacy, Windows XP machine (with "some version" of Matlab installed). The other runs a semi-standard Debian Jessie (8) setup with Matlab 2012b, PsychoPy, and Psychtoolbox installed. It has been configured to match the timing/configuration requirements of both PsychoPy and Psychtoolbox.

There is no KVM-Matrix, so switching between the two requires that all wires be disconnected and reconnected to the desired computer.
