Social interaction relies on information obtained from the eyes to a large extent. However, most of the current eye movement research apply experiments where participants are recorded individually in separate rooms. Those experiments help explaining and model human visual system, individual saccade behavior and fixations under certain conditions. But they lack of explaining the social role of the eye movements. In this study, we design and develop a tool for analyzing the role of eye movements in social communication. In order to measure the role of eye movements in social cognition, we have developed a system called “Group Eye Tracking (GET)”. The software infrastructure of the GET is related to the network infrastructure of client machines, data communication among group members and data collection during the experiment. In this thesis, we describe the details about creating stimuli and designing group conditions running on the software infrastructure and report the analysis of group eye movement data.

Investigating cognitive and emotional factors that trigger pupil delation in human computer interaction
Uyanık Civek, Ceren; Gökçay, Didem; Baltacı, Serdar; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2018)
Human-computer interaction can be enhanced if emotional arousal of the user can be predicted. Measurement of pupil dilation is an effective indicator to achieve a successive classification for categorizing the psychological state of a user. In this study, rather than trying to identify several psychological states, we focused on the identification of stress. There exist several factors that shift the state of a computer user from relaxation to stress. In this study, we mainly focused on the cognitive factor...
Recurrence quantification analysis of group eye tracking data
Tajaddini, Mani; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2018)
Eye movements can provide insight into the cognitive processes behind them. To study group cognition through investigating eye movements, we have developed a software tool (GETapp) to collect eye movement data from groups of participants performing a task on a set of computers in the scope of the Group Eye Tracking (GET) paradigm. Like many real-world systems, the data from group eye tracking experiments are non-linear. We have developed a software tool, a package for the R programming language, called the ...
An Experimental investigation of ICT expertise by gaze analysis
Kaya, Erdi; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2019)
The aim of the present study is to contribute to the approaches used for the division of experts and novices according to the approaches and differences in question answering. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted with 41 participants. The subjects were divided into two groups as experts and novices according to their information test scores. Then the participants answered a set of questions based on ICT and their eye movements were recorded. The participants were then divided as high performers and...
Mining eyetracking data to characterise users and theirpatterns of use
Öder, Melih; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2019)
Eye tracking studies typically collect an enormous amount of data that encodes a lot of information about the users’ behavior and characteristics on the web. However, there are not many studies that mine such data to learn and discover user characteristics and profiles. The main goal of this study is to mine eye tracking data by machine learning methods to create data models which characterise users and predict their characteristics, in particular, familiarity and gender. Detecting users’ characteristics can...
User interaction in hands-free gaming: a comparative study of gaze-voice and touchscreen interface control
Uludagli, Muhtar Cagkan; Acartürk, Cengiz (2018-01-01)
The goal of the present study is to contribute to the research on the use of eye tracking in hands-free gaming. We report the results of an experimental study by using a platform game designed by the authors. The game allowed gaze-voice command control, as well touchscreen control of the interface by the player. We employed a set of performance measures and we measured player engagement as an indicator of user experience. The findings revealed that the players did not improve in game performance when they u...
