The Visual Preference for Facial Expressions task uses eye tracking to measure how long people look at different emotional expressions (like happy or sad faces) to understand attentional biases.

This demo presents food items and measures viewers’ facial expressions in real time using PsychoJS Face API, without saving webcam video.

Sustained Attention to Response Time Task (SART)

This SART task is modeled on the framework used in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)

Participants must press a button (mouse or onscreen) in response to a series of digits and withold responses on the number 3)

Each digit appears for 300ms, with an interval of 800ms between digits. The cycle of digits 1–9 is repeated 23 times, giving a total of 207 trials. The task lasts approximately for 4min
