Segmented Data Export
Segmented Data Export writes raw, row-level gaze segments as CSV for spreadsheets or custom scripts (Python, R). The layout matches the Segmented Duration CSV import format, so you can export, edit, and re-upload (see Segmented Data workflows).
CSV structure
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
stimulus | Stimulus name |
participant | Participant name |
timestamp | Segment start time |
duration | Segment duration |
eyemovementtype | Eye-movement type name (e.g. Fixation, Saccade), displayed or raw per Naming |
AOI | AOI name(s); several are joined by a pipe, as the import expects |
x, y | Segment coordinate, when spatial data is available |
Options
- Choose stimuli: Select which stimuli to include in the exported data.
- Choose participants: Select which participants to include; the chips above the list select or deselect a whole participant selection.
- Choose eye-movement types: Select which eye-movement categories (e.g., fixations, saccades, unclassified) to include in the file. By default, all categories are selected. Your eye-movement type selections appear as chips above the list, such as the ready-made Just fixations: a chip ticks all of its types, or unticks them when they are all ticked, and individual checkmarks refine the result.
- Choose AOIs: tick the AOIs the
AOIcolumn may name (all by default; the list shows only the AOIs of the chosen stimuli), with your AOI selections as chips like the participant chips. Every segment stays in the file; unticked AOIs are only left out of the column, so a segment on them alone reads as no AOI, as in a plot using that selection. With Raw naming, every original AOI behind a ticked displayed name is kept. - Configure the file: Choose the export layout and format conventions:
- Export Type: Single CSV File, or Individual CSV Files (Zipped) (one file per participant and stimulus, without the
stimulusandparticipantcolumns). - Delimiter (
,or;), Decimal Separator (.or,). Each CSV export starts from the delimiter and decimal separator of your last CSV export, remembered in this browser, and the collapsed step names them when they are not comma and dot. - Naming: Displayed (grouped, renamed) or Raw (original imported).
- Export Type: Single CSV File, or Individual CSV Files (Zipped) (one file per participant and stimulus, without the
Exporting
The modal guides you through collapsible steps, one open at a time; every collapsed step shows a one-line summary of its selection.
- Click Export in the header.
- Under Figures and data, click the Segmented Data (CSV) card.
- Choose the Stimuli, Participants, and Eye-movement types, then configure the file options above.
- Click Export Segments.
Download segments in the pane of a Scarf Plot, Fixation Heatmap, Scanpath or Recurrence Plot opens the same dialog preset to that plot’s stimulus, participants and, where it has one, AOI selection. The file holds whole recordings: a plot’s time range is not applied.
