Stimulus View

FaceReader comes with the Stimulus Presentation tool which allows you to present stimuli to your test participants during the test. The Stimulus View window displays the stimulus video or image. In addition to the Stimulus View window you can, for instance, visualize the participant's Expression Intensity chart, play back the analysis and assess what facial expressions the stimuli induced.

If your FaceReader license includes the Advanced Research Module and you selected Perform gaze calibration when you defined the test, the window also shows the participant's gaze overlay.
