The SMI High Speed System of Registration of Eye Movements: Particular Qualities of Use

This article is dedicated to the description of the author’s proposed method of processing the experimental data obtained on SMI High Speed equipment for the registration of eye movements. Particular attention is paid to the recommendations on the choice of the algorithm of fixations, the calculation of statistics for selected zones of interest, as well as consideration of the features of registering of pupil dilation.
