Introduction
Head tracking is an important way to measure responses of subject to stimuli. The head movement can be measured in several ways, each with their pro's and con's. Three different techniques are used for head tracking in our labs: EMF, IMU and optical head tracking.
EMF head tracking
The Electromagnetic Field head tracking system consists of three low frequency (50, 60 and 70 kHz) magnetic field generators that create homogeneous alternating magnetic fields around the subject. There are three perpendicular fields (horizontal, vertical and frontal) each with a different frequency.
The subject is wearing a pickup coil on his/her head during the trial. This coil picks up the magnetic fields. The strength of the different frequency components is depending on the orientation of the head. The pickup coil signal is again split in three components by three lock-in amplifiers (LIA's). The outputs of the LIA's are converted by ADC's and analysed further in Matlab by a pre-trained neural network.
