Target follow-up type
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Computerised eye tracking tests that consist of ~10-15minutes of different tests. The tests centre around watching a target presented on a computer screen. Tests include fixation, pursuits, ocular following, vestibulo-ocular test, saccades and the Stroop test. The participants will do the tests once (the tests are presented in a random order), wait at least 5 minutes and then repeat the eye tests again (also in a random order)

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 324814 0
This a composite primary outcome (Oculomotor outcomes, including saccades, anti-saccades, fixations, smooth pursuits, ocular following, Vestibulo-ocular reflex, Stroop test and egocentric localisation) . All outcomes are determined from computerised eye tracking record record by an infra-red camera.

Statistical methods / analysis
Twenty-five adults will be recruited A sample size of 25 was selected based on an expected intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.8 and a 95% confidence interval that excluded 0.61, which was predefined as the lowest acceptable level of test-retest reliability based on the recommendations made by Shrout (1998) (Barch & Yarkoni, 2013; Koo & Li, 2016; Shrout, 1998; Walter, Eliasziw, & Donner, 1998). All adults over the age of 18 would be eligible to participate, but an attempt was made to recruit young adults where possible. A convenience sampling frame was used.

To assess test-retest reliability of the primary outcome measures intraclass correlation coefficients will be calculated using two way mixed models with consistency as the type and single measurements. Spearman’s correlation coefficients will also be calculated to account for the non-parametric nature of some of the data. Scatter plots will also be created to visually assess the data. Bland-Altman plots will also be presented as an alternative measure of validity.

Summary
Brief summary
This first study aims to test the reliability and validity of computerised eye tracking tests in young adults. This study includes the refinement of eye-tracking procedures in order to minimise test-retest differences in tests for eye movement function, integrating multiple senses and participant perceived body midline
