Pre-AttentiveGaze: gaze-based authentication dataset with momentary visual interactions

Abstract

This manuscript presents a Pre-AttentiveGaze dataset. One of the defining characteristics of gaze-based authentication is the necessity for a rapid response. In this study, we constructed a dataset for identifying individuals through eye movements by inducing "pre-attentive processing" in response to a given gaze stimulus in a very short time. A total of 76,840 eye movement samples were collected from 34 participants across five sessions. From the dataset, we extracted the gaze features proposed in previous studies, pre-processed them, and validated the dataset by applying machine learning models. This study demonstrates the efficacy of the dataset and illustrates its potential for use in gaze-based authentication of visual stimuli that elicit pre-attentive processing.
