Webinar information
Eye movements provide a window into cognitive functions, such as memory, problem-solving, and learning. Eye tracking technology can greatly contribute to objectively measuring these functions and provide a deeper understanding of human behavior. Wearable eye trackers capture eye movements which enable you to understand related cognitive processes in natural settings, allowing for unconstrained behavior in an ecologically valid design.
In this research symposium you will hear directly from three esteemed researchers on their work within cognitive psychology and how they have used wearable eye tracking to gather their findings.
Join us to get inspired by their innovative research.

Speakers
Alana Muller
4th-year graduate student, Human Spatial Cognition Lab, University of Arizona
Alana Muller is currently a 4th-year graduate student in the Psychology Department working in the Human Spatial Cognition Lab at the University of Arizona. Her research interests involve studying the contributions of vision and movement to navigation, especially in natural settings. She is also interested in understanding how specific eye movements are involved in memory processes.
Dr. Alexandra Hoffmann
Department of Psychology, University of Innsbruck in Austria
Alexandra Hoffmann is currently working at the Department of Psychology at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. Her research has a focus in cognitive psychology, psychophysiology & eye tracking. By combining eye tracking with physiological methods like EDA and ECG, she wants to investigate how humans react to emotional and face stimuli, but also in interactions with other individuals. She is further interested in applying mobile eye tracking to dive deeper into the world of social attention and interpersonal communication, especially in psychological disorders. Although she is part of the team of general psychology, she is also expanding her research into clinical psychology as well as neurology, working with psychiatrists and neurologists.
Dr. Daniel Levin
Professor of Psychology, Department of Psychology and Human Development, Vanderbilt University
Daniel Levin received his BA from Reed College in 1990, and his PhD at Cornell University in 1997. He is currently a Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Vanderbilt University. His research explores the interface between cognition and perception in naturalistic settings ranging from scenes to instructional videos to cinema. This work has been supported by grants from the NSF, NIMH, and Templeton Foundation.
