 device's sample frequency to 60Hz, and during the 20-minute experiment, the eye-tracking data amounted to only about

+#### Q7. Which eye gazes can be analyzed, and can gazes on the UI be understood?
+
+In CodeGRITS, we only analyze gazes within the code editor. For example, in the following figure, only gazes within the
+red rectangle are mapped to the source code tokens and performed the upward traversal of the AST. For gazes outside the
+code editor, such as those on the file explorer, menubar, tool window, console, etc., we only record their raw
+information and add a remark `Fail | Out of Text Editor`. CodeGRITS cannot understand the semantics of gazes on the UI.

+
+However, if certain UI elements within the editor are triggered, such as the list for auto-completion or the inline
+definition display, CodeGRITS mistakenly interprets the gaze as being directed at the code content below the UI (when it
+should actually be on the UI). We have not yet found an appropriate method to resolve this issue, which may lead to
+inaccuracies in some gaze analyses.
