Beyond eye tracking: Integrating multimodal research methods

Webinar information

Eye tracking provides a powerful window into human attention, but when combined with complementary physiological and behavioral data, it can reveal an even richer understanding of human behavior.  

Through presentations from leading researchers and Tobii experts, you'll learn practical approaches for combining Tobii eye tracking with technologies such as EEG, GSR, heart rate, and other synchronized data streams to generate deeper insights and strengthen research outcomes. Learn about the experimental setup, synchronization methods, practical challenges, and key lessons from deploying multimodal measurements in the field. ​

What you’ll learn:

  • Why combining eye tracking with additional physiological sensors provides a more complete understanding of attention, cognitive processes, emotional responses, and behavior  

  • Practical approaches to designing multimodal research studies in both controlled laboratory and naturalistic environments. 

  • Methods for combining eye tracking with other sensor data, including established high-accuracy synchronization approaches such as TTL and data integration workflows such as Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) 

  • Best practices for data collection, synchronization, analysis, and overcoming common implementation challenges. 

  • Real-world examples demonstrating how multimodal approaches have advanced research across different application areas.

Speakers

  • Dr. Nico Bast

    Dr. Nico Bast

    Goethe University Frankfurt

    Dr. Nico Bast is a psychotherapist for children and research group leader at the Department for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Goethe University Frankfurt. His research focus is the development of indicative markers that predict early psychopathology based on eye-tracking, EEG, and AI-boosted computer vision.

  • Dr. Jlenia Toppi

    Dr. Jlenia Toppi

    Sapienza University of Rome

    Dr. Jlenia Toppi is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome. Her research focuses on computational neuroscience, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), EEG signal processing, and neuroengineering for rehabilitation. Her work integrates advanced signal processing and network neuroscience to investigate brain function and develop innovative technologies for neurological disorders, including stroke, disorders of consciousness, and spinal cord injury. She has authored numerous publications in leading international journals and actively collaborates with clinical and engineering research groups on translational neurotechnology and neurorehabilitation.

  • Dr. Simon Ladouce

    Dr. Simon Ladouce

    University of Cambridge

    Dr. Simon Ladouce is an Associate Researcher in the Cambridge Cognitive Architecture group at the University of Cambridge. His research lies at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, human-computer interaction, and architecture, and investigates how the brain, body, and environment interact during everyday activities. He combines wearable eye tracking, mobile EEG, physiological and movement sensing with computer vision, spatial computing, and human activity recognition. His work aims to develop ecologically grounded methods for studying cognition in context and to inform evidence-based approaches that support health, wellbeing, and human performance.
