Eye tracking is a tool that is widely used in scientific research, enabling the acquisition of precise and detailed data on an individual’s eye movements during interaction with visual stimuli, thus offering a rich source of information on visual perception and associated cognitive processes. In this work, a new software called SPEED (labScoc Processing and Extraction of Eye tracking Data) is presented to process data acquired by Pupil Lab Neon (Pupil Labs, Berlin, Germany). The software is written in Python which helps researchers with the feature extraction step without any coding skills. This work also presents a pilot study in which five healthy subjects were included in research investigating oculomotor correlates during MDMT (Moral Decision-Making Task) and testing possible autonomic predictors of participants’ performance. A statistically significant difference was observed in reaction times and in the number of blinks made during the choice between the conditions of the personal and impersonal dilemma.
