Data for Recognition of Visual Memory Recall Processes Using Eye Movement Analysis

Eye movement data was recorded of participants looking at familiar and unfamiliar pictures from four picture categories: abstract, landscapes, faces, and buildings. The study was designed with two objectives in mind: (1) to elicit distinct eye movements by using a large screen and well-defined visual stimuli, and (2) to record natural visual behaviour without any active visual search or memory task by not asking participants for real-time feedback.

The dataset has the following characteristics: ~7 hours of eye movement data recorded using a wearable Electrooculography (EOG) system 7 participants (3 female, 4 male), aged between 25 and 29 years one experimental run for each participant, involving them to look at four continuous, random sequences of pictures (exposure time for each picture 10s). Within each sequence, 12 pictures were presented only once; five others were presented four times at regular intervals.
