Method and system for correlating an image capturing device to a human user for analyzing gaze information associated with cognitive performance

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for a finalized processed image and related data to identify a spatial location of each pupil in the region. Each pupil is identified by a two-dimensional spatial coordinate. The method includes processing information associated with each pupil identified by the two-dimensional spatial coordinate to output a plurality of two-dimensional spatial coordinates, each of which is in reference to a time, in a two-dimensional space. The method then includes outputting a gaze information about the human user. The gaze information includes the two-dimensional spatial coordinates each of which is in reference to a time in a two-dimensional space.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A method for processing information from a user using paired learning and testing of objects, the objects being selected from a group consisting of a paired symbol digit comparison, a paired arithmetic, a paired line orientation, a paired line length, a paired feature binding, or a paired price comparison, the method comprising:
 in a learning phase,
 displaying a pair of learning objects on a display coupled to a computing device, and then repeating a learning process of displaying a pair of other learning objects numbered from 2 to N on the display of the computing device, where N is an integer from 6 to 16; 
   in a testing phase,
 displaying a pair of testing objects on the display of the computing device, and then repeating a testing process of displaying a pair of other testing objects numbered from 2 to M, where M is an integer from 6 to 16, each pair of testing objects being categorized as either (1) equal to a pair of learning objects, (2) different from a pair of learning objects where each of the learning objects is different from each testing word or one of the learning objects is the same as one of the testing objects and the other learning word is different form the testing word in the pair; 
   for each pair of objects displayed in the learning phase and the testing phase;
 capturing eye tracking information, including gaze information, from a user; 
 capturing an input response information from the user for each pair of objects in the testing phase; and 
 storing the eye tracking information and the input response information in a memory device coupled to the computing device.
