Primary Assay — Common Marmoset
Visual Attention / Free Viewing
Callithrix jacchus
Head-fixed and freely-viewing marmosets perform attention and saccade tasks. Saccade kinematics and fixation patterns enable systems studies of cortical visual processing.
Quantitative Output
Measured Parameters
Every parameter is automatically tracked frame-by-frame in the ConductVision pipeline for Callithrix jacchus.
| Parameter | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Saccade latency | ms | Cue to saccade onset |
| Fixation duration | ms | Stable gaze periods |
| Target detection | % | Hit rate |
| Free-viewing scan rate | Hz | Saccades per second |
