TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Mantra: an open method for object and movement tracking JO - Behavior research methods A1 - Mathôt, Sebastiaan A1 - Theeuwes, Jan SP - 1182 EP - 1193 VL - 43 IS - 4 N2 - Mantra is a free and open-source software package for object tracking. It is specifically designed to be used as a tool for response collection in psychological experiments and requires only a computer and a camera (a webcam is sufficient). Mantra is compatible with widely used software for creating psychological experiments. In Experiments 1 and 2, we validated the spatial and temporal precision of Mantra in realistic experimental settings. In Experiments 3 and 4, we validated the spatial precision and accuracy of Mantra more rigorously by tracking a computer controlled physical stimulus and stimuli presented on a computer screen.
