EyeMouseMap

The EyeMouseMap dataset includes both experimental and analyzed gaze and mouse tracking data collected during the visual search of four different point target symbols (located either on the center or the periphery of the visual scene, target-absent trials are also tested), on four different cartographic backgrounds (48 different visual scenes in total). In more detail, the dataset includes experimental data produced in two different experiments; (a) a lab-based gaze and mouse tracking (55 participants, 1000 Hz sampling frequency) study and (b) a remote (online) mouse tracking (30 participants) study.
