Using Eye Tracking to Assess Reading Performance in Patients with Glaucoma: A Within-Person Study

Figure 2

Scatterplots showing the amplitude and angle of saccades made across the 50 sentences for four examples of patients reading with the better eye. This data is used by the GMM to detect the four clusters within the data that represent the type of saccades made by the patients. The types of saccade are represented by the colours green (line change saccade), red (regression), blue (forward saccades), and brown (unknown). The black cross represents the start point for the GMM for each of the four clusters. The small circle represents the centre of the cluster and the surrounding larger ellipse represents a distribution of the data (calculated to be 2 standard deviations) captured by that cluster following the GMM process. Examples of outcomes from the GMM clustering are shown in Figure 1(c) for four different patients.
