We describe here PyOKR, a semi-automated quantitative analysis method that directly measures eye movements resulting from visual responses to two-dimensional image motion. A Python-based user interface and analysis algorithm allows for higher throughput and more accurate quantitative measurements of eye-tracking parameters than previous methods.
