Eye-tracking & Brain research seminar on Tue 1st September 2015 at 10:00 - 16:45

Jyväskylä Centre for Interdiciplinary Brain Research is organizing the Eye-tracking & Brain research seminar on Tuesday 1st September 2015, 10:00 - 16:45, University of Jyväskylä (Agora, Lea Pulkkinen Hall/4th floor, B-wing). The presentation will be held in English language.

Eye movements are one of the most sensitive response of cognitive function, for which reason eye tracking has become popular research method. In recent years, eye tracking have been also increasingly integrated with brain imaging methods. In JY determined eye tracking research have been conducted almost a decade (e.g. check our latest article here), and the new MEG laboratory will also be equipped with eye tracker. In this seminar, we will present research in JY along with visiting accomplished speakers. Come and see how versatile and useful research method eye tracking is!
