We present an algorithmic method for aligning recall fixations with encoding fixations, to be used in looking-at-nothing paradigms that either record recall eye movements during silence or want to speed up data analysis with recordings of recall data during speech.

We present an algorithmic method for aligning recall fixations with encoding fixations, to be used in looking-at-nothing paradigms that either record recall eye movements during silence or want to speed up data analysis with recordings of recall data during speech. The algorithm utilizes a novel consensus-based elastic matching algorithm to estimate which encoding fixations correspond to later recall fixations. This is not a scanpath comparison method, as fixation sequence order is ignored and only position configurations are used. The algorithm has three internal parameters and is reasonable stable over a wide range of parameter values. We then evaluate the performance of our algorithm by investigating whether the recalled objects identified by the algorithm correspond with independent assessments of what objects in the image are marked as subjectively important. Our results show that the mapped recall fixations align well with important regions of the images. This result is exemplified in four groups of use cases: to investigate the roles of low-level visual features, faces, signs and text, and people of different sizes, in recall of encoded scenes. The plots from these examples corroborate the finding that the algorithm aligns recall fixations with the most likely important regions in the images. Examples also illustrate how the algorithm can differentiate between image objects that have been fixated during silent recall vs those objects that have not been visually attended, even though they were fixated during encoding.
