This serves as its table of # contents. # Directory of Files: Sensory_Data_C_A.zip A. Filename: Subject{XX}.xlsx Short description: This file contains the raw output copied from the output files generated by EyeLink (SR Research). Each sheet contains the data from each run of the presence of distractors task condition (3 runs in total). Information is provided at the start of each sheet on the EyeLink parameters for the run. Following this information are timestamps for each millisecond of the run, with the corresponding x- and y-coordinates and size of the pupil at each time point. Directory of Files: Sensory_Data_C_V.zip A. Filename: Subject{XX}.xlsx Short description: This file contains the raw output copied from the output files generated by EyeLink (SR Research). Each sheet contains the data from each run of the absence of distractors task condition (3 runs in total). Information is provided at the start of each sheet on the EyeLink parameters for the run. Following this information are timestamps for each millisecond of the run, with the corresponding x- and y-coordinates and size of the pupil at each time point. Directory of Files: SubjectData A. Filename: 190825_SubjectData.pdf Short description: This file contains relevant information for each participant included in the analyses, such as group, age, EyeLink parameters, and clinical metrics. Additional Notes on File Relationships, Context, or Content (for example, if a user wants to reuse and/or cite your data, what information would you want them to know?): Participants with two-digit IDs of 38, 39, 42, and 71 were ultimately not used in the final analyses because a complete data set could only be collected for one of the two task conditions (absence or presence of distractors). The participant with two-digit ID of 35 was also not included in the final analyses because of excessive blinks and/or artifacts affecting data quality. # # File Naming Convention: Define your File Naming Convention # (FNC), the framework used for naming your files systematically # to describe what they contain, which could be combined with the # Directory of Files. # File Naming Convention: The Sensory_Data_C_A.zip contains the data for the presence of distractors runs, while the Sensory_Data_C_V.zip contains the data for the absence of distractors runs. Each participant has a two-digit ID associated with their data. The two-digit ID can be matched to each participant used in the analyses using the 190825_SubjectData file. # # Data Description: A data description, dictionary, or codebook # defines the variables and abbreviations used in a dataset. This # information can be included in the README file, in a separate # file, or as part of the data file. If it is in a separate file # or in the data file, explain where this information is located # and ensure that it is accessible without specialized software. # (We recommend using plain text files or tabular plain text CSV # files exported from spreadsheet software.) # ----------------------------------------- DATA DESCRIPTION FOR: Subject{XX}.xlsx ----------------------------------------- 1. Number of variables: 4 2. Number of cases/rows: This varies by participant, as the EyeLink continues recording during task instructions, which varies per participant in the time it takes to read. 3. Missing data codes: "SBLINK" in column A indicates the start of a blink, while "EBLINK" in column A indicates the end of a blink. 4. Variable List # # Example. Name: Gender # Description: Gender of respondent # 1 = Male # 2 = Female # 3 = Transgender # 4 = Nonbinary # 5 = Other gender not listed # 6 = Prefer not to answer # A. Name: Timestamp Description: This variable in column A is the timestamp at each time point and can include information sent from MATLAB Psychtoolbox about task events. B. Name: x-coordinate Description: This variable in column B is the x-coordinate at each time point. C. Name: y-coordinate Description: This variable in column C is the y-coodinate at each time point. D. Name: Pupil size Description: This variable in column D is the pupil size at each time point. ----------------------------------------- DATA DESCRIPTION FOR: 190825_SubjectData.pdf ----------------------------------------- 1.
