This article presents a dataset consisting of eye-tracking recordings obtained from fifteen patients with Broca’s Aphasia and six healthy individuals. The aphasic volunteers had good hearing and eye function, which allowed them to use a computer for communication. Data from aphasic and healthy participants was recorded once in two Speech-Language Pathology Clinics partners. The experimental design involved thirty-two recording sessions per participant, each one corresponding to the execution of the second version of the clinically validated Test for Reception of Grammar (TROG-2). This dataset can serve as a valuable benchmark for several applications, as it provides complementary information of individual insights, improving linguistic systems, exploring gaze functions, and monitoring cognitive processes in patients undergoing rehabilitation.

Aphasia is characterized by language impairments and deficits in oral expression and comprehension. Eye tracking is a promising technique to investigate language processing in complex cases, like aphasia. A paradigm supporting this idea demonstrates a temporal relationship between language processing and gaze. In this work, we developed a new resource to investigate auditory sentence processing by aphasic individuals in the Brazilian context. The solution was based on the application of a second version of a clinically validated method knownas the Test for Reception of Grammar (TROG-2). A pilot was conducted by a multidisciplinary team, where four individuals with aphasia, and four individuals without aphasia, participated. The data analysis showed that eye-tracking combined with the TROG-2 provides complementary information of individual insights which would lead to more personalized and assertive rehabilitation programs.
