Heatmap presets

On this page you can find the used settings for each heatmap preset, as currently available in the web application.

Normal heatmap

Our normal preset gives you a visual presentation you are likely already familiar with, using the standard jet colormap, in which peaks in attention jump out at you from the screen

case 'normal':
this.alpha = 0.85
this.colormap = 'jet'
this.boost = 2.0
this.inverse = false
this.reveal = false

Scientific heatmap

Our scientific preset is scientifically more valid than our Normal preset, because the color distribution is linear. That means that a peak in the attention heatmap which shows up with twice the brightness of another peak, actually is predicted to receive twice the amount of attention.

case 'scientific':
this.alpha = 0.95
this.colormap = 'inferno'
this.boost = 1.0
this.inverse = false
this.reveal = false

Reveal heatmap

Our reveal preset will hide everything that doesn't grab attention. It makes everything opaque, except those locations where the attention prediction peaks.

case 'reveal':
this.alpha = 1
this.colormap = 'binary_r'
this.boost = 0.25
this.inverse = true
this.reveal = true

Color-blindness heatmap

Our color blindness preset is geared towards those who have difficulty differentiating certain colors.

case 'color-blindness':
this.alpha = 0.95
this.colormap = 'cool'
this.boost = 2.0
this.inverse = true
this.reveal = false
