title: Data from: An extensive dataset of eye movements during viewing of complex images

description: We present a dataset of free-viewing eye-movement recordings that contains
 more than 2.7 million fixation locations from 949 observers on more than
 1000 images from different categories. This dataset aggregates and
 harmonizes data from 23 different studies conducted at the Institute of
 Cognitive Science at Osnabrück University and the University Medical
 Center in Hamburg-Eppendorf. Trained personnel recorded all studies under
 standard conditions with homogeneous equipment and parameter settings. All
 studies allowed for free eye-movements, and differed in the age range of
 participants (~7-80 years), stimulus sizes, stimulus modifications (phase
 scrambled, spatial filtering, mirrored), and stimuli categories (natural
 and urban scenes, web sites, fractal, pink-noise, and ambiguous artistic
 figures). The size and variability of viewing behavior within this dataset
 presents a strong opportunity for evaluating and comparing computational
 models of overt attention, and furthermore, for thoroughly quantifying
 strategies of viewing behavior. This also makes the dataset a good
 starting point for investigating whether viewing strategies change in
 patient groups.
