7ANALYSING TRACES
Now that you know how to analyse reaction time and accuracy data, it’s time to move on to something a bit more complicated: trace analysis. A trace can be any type of data that you collect continuously: pupil size, EEG, fMRI, force output, movement velocity, and so on. It doesn’t really matter where the trace comes from, the basic steps of the analysis are always the same: you collect the traces for individual trials, average them per condition, and then test where the traces are different between conditions.
