Psychology Research Group to Purchase State-of-the-Art Eye-Tracking Equipment

By Jane Elsley on November 22, 2011

Have you ever wondered which information in the environment is important to look at? Vision is not a passive process; rather we actively coordinate our eye movements such that we fixate the most “important” information to carry out our particular task. We make about two to four eye movements a second, incredibly totaling around 150,000 motions daily. What determines the destinations of these eye movements and whether eye movements are modulated by individual differences or more general characteristics is of great interest to researchers within the Psychology Research Group, who have now purchased the perfect equipment to access this information. The Dikablis eye-tracker (Ergoneers) is a top-of-the-range head mounted eye tracker which will enable researchers within the group to learn how children and adults move around and select the important aspects of their visual environment. The system is the only one worldwide that provides unlimited mobility combined with the ability to monitor eye-movements in real time.
