*Example from an NSD eye-tracking run: the background is the displayed NSD imagery target, blue traces show valid gaze samples from eight 3-second viewing windows (24 seconds total), and red circles show low-velocity centers under one explicit filtering rule. The model should use the time series, not the overlay.*

*Example from an NSD eye-tracking run: the background is the actual displayed NSD imagery target, and gaze is mapped into the 8.4 x 8.4 degree stimulus frame. The design file lists eight 3-second presentations of this target image; six have usable processed gaze samples in this extract. Red circles show low-velocity centers under one explicit filtering rule. The model should use the time series, not the overlay.*
