Eye tracking

Eye trackers are able to determine where on a computer screen the subject is looking. They are used in Psychology and Psycholinguistics research to help discover the mechanisms of language processing in the brain.

Cognitive Neuroscience Suite

The eye tracking laboratory has a SR Research EyeLink 2000 eye tracker with a Tower Mount. The equipment is available as a resource for all staff within the School who are interested in conducting eye tracking research but who do not have their own equipment, as well as for interested external users. The eye tracker provides monocular eyetracking only. It is located in room B21E in the Psychology Building basement. In addition to this, one of the EEG laboratories within the Cognitive Neuroscience Suite is also equipped with a desk mounted SR Research Eyelink 1000 for simultaneous EEG recording and eye tracking.

Available for use byPPLS staff and students, as well as external researchers. Hands-on training is required.
SupportThe lab is managed by Ronny Wiegand.
