Latest news:

This eye tracking course will be held in the Humanities Lab 10 Oct 2016 – 16 Jan 2017.

Overview

This course covers aspects of eye-tracking theory, methodology and applications. The course is primarily intended for PhD students (though Master's students are welcome). There is a strong focus on project preparation and planning, with the assumption that the student will perform an eye tracking experiment shortly after the course. A description of the course can be found here.

We have several research projects with suitable master projects. If you would like to take this course to prepare a Master's thesis in the eye tracking group, please contact us!

Labs

During the labs there ar
e pre-prepared exercises, but you can work with your own pilot study if you want.

Labs | Time | Comment
Lab 1 | 16 | Introduction to eye-tracking hardware and software. Preparing experiments. (Teachers: Diederick and Kenneth)
Lab 2 | 16 | Recording data. (Teachers: Diederick and Kenneth)
Lab 3 | 16 | Visualizing and analyzing data (Teachers: Diederick and Kenneth)

Examination

Examination is performed in two ways: continuous evaluation in the form of active seminar participation (reading texts, presenting them, and actively discussing them), and a project proposal based on eye-tracking. This proposal is an 6-10 page description of a study that you could perform using eye-tracking. You briefly present the theory behind the study, and then carefully describe the method, how you will design the experiment, what eye-tracker to use, what measures to use, and expected results and their implications. As a departure, you can have a look at the requirement of actual projects proposals that you send to the Swedish Research Council.
We are expecting something like the Appendix A (“research programme”), except a briefer theory part, less popular scientific descriptions, and more method description of how you are actually going to use the eye-tracking. We want to be convinced that you know what you are doing, and that we believe that you could pull this project off with good results to show.

Misc.

Also, although not a part of the course, you are most welcome to the eye-tracking seminar. We meet every week on Friday at 13. The room may vary, but typically we are in L412a on the 4th level at “Lingvisthuset” at the Center for Literature and Language (SOL), or the Faculty Club (also at SOL). Here is the current program:
