The VML Advanced Eye Tracking Workshop

The Vision Modelling Lab (VML) conducted the two-day Eye Tracking Workshop. The workshop covered advanced topics in calibration, pupilometry, microsaccades, saccadic curvature, fixation analyses, spatial and temporal models of fixations and experiment design.

Day 1: October 25 (Thursday), 12pm – 5pm

On the first day, participants were introduced to advanced oculograhphy and analysis techniques including

• gaze contingent eye tracking 
• models of fixation
• deep learning
• temporal models with LIF and diffusion
  
  

 

Day 2: October 26 (Friday), 12pm – 5pm

On the second day, the focus was on low-level properties of saccades such as

• microsaccades, curvature, and saccade detection 
• gaze event classifier
• advanced calibration techniques
• pupilometry

 

 

During the workshop, the VML members in collaboration with the Laboratory for Cognitive Research and the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience provided tutorials and gave talks and lectures on following topics:

• Joe MacInnes: Fixations, microsaccades, & saccadic curvature  Fixations Curvature Microsaccades.pdf
