Beyond gaze: Understand cognitive load with eye tracking

Webinar

Beyond gaze: Understand cognitive load with eye tracking

From theory to application

Webinar information

Watch our research-focused webinar where experts in cognitive science, eye tracking, and applied training environments explore how eye-based signals reveal mental effort. Discover how eye tracking is evolving — from a tool for studying visual attention to a powerful method for assessing cognitive processing.

We’ll dive into how cognitive load can be measured continuously and unobtrusively, offering a scalable alternative to traditional methods like EEG or self-reporting. You’ll gain insights into both foundational research and real-world applications — from visuo-spatial switching to surgical training.

What you’ll learn:

  • How pupillometry uncovers hidden cognitive demands in visuo-spatial tasks

  • How eye tracking biomarkers are used to evaluate learning and performance in medical education

Speakers

  • Dr. Renato Orti, Ph.D.

    Dr. Renato Orti, Ph.D.

    Postdoctoral fellow, Laboratory of Cognitive Science and Immersive Virtual Reality (University of Campania L. Vanvitelli)

    Dr. Orti is a postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratory of Cognitive Science and Immersive Virtual Reality (University of Campania L. Vanvitelli). His research interests focus on the analysis of visuospatial memory processes, with particular attention to the processes of switching between body-centered (egocentric) and object-centered (allocentric) spatial representations. Dr. Orti mainly uses neurophysiological measurements such as fNIRS and pupillometry using virtual reality scenarios.

  • Dr. Benedikt Gollan

    Dr. Benedikt Gollan

    CSO SomaReality GmbH

    Dr. Gollan is a cognitive informatics researcher. After obtaining a degree in Electrical Engineering at the TU Munich, he received his PhD from JKU Linz on “Sensor-based Online Assessment of Human Attention.” He led the “Pervasive Computing Applications” research studio at RSAFG, focusing on attention estimation, multimodal sensing, and implicit/explicit interaction. Since November 2023, he has been CSO at Somareality GmbH, responsible for developing digital eye tracking-based biomarkers.

  • Dr. Karl H Schneider

    Dr. Karl H Schneider

    Priv.-Doz. Dipl.-Ing., Medical University of Vienna

    Dr. Schneider is a researcher at the Medical University of Vienna specializing in tissue vascularization, biomaterials, and 3D bioprinting. His work spans decellularized human placenta collaboration and advances biomedical applications from regenerative medicine to surgical training.

  • Dr. Katrina Connell

    Dr. Katrina Connell

    Research Scientist, Tobii

    With over 11 years of eye tracking experience, Katrina specializes in behavioral and attention-based experimental research. After obtaining her Ph.D. in linguistics in 2017 from the University of Kansas, Katrina has dedicated herself to partnering with researchers in academia and industry from around the world by sharing her expertise through eye-tracking trainings and supporting researchers using in all stages of their eye tracking research.
