• Participant Setup/Positioning

from EyeLink® 1000 Plus Installation Guide: Long Range Mounts (pg 63)

For use with the 32 channel Siemens head coil (monocular only) the post needs to be displaced to the side of the eye-to-be-tracked… Note that placement of the illuminator is as peripheral as possible and that the Camera Head is as far toward the center of the Mounting Bar as possible.

This may shift the placement of these components from the recommend positions on the scale, but they remain separated and importantly, have a more lateral view of the eye through the mask of the head coil. It is feasible that both the Illuminator and Camera Head can be placed on the same side of the Mounting Bar to make the camera view slightly more peripheral.

To optimize the eye tracking the participant’s head should be elevated as high as possible without touching the mask of the head coil. For optimal brain imaging, ensure that the head remains centered in the head coil – padding one side of the head so it is held more laterally will result in better eye tracking but may produce inferior brain images.
