Learn moreThe role of eye tracking in scientific research
The study of eye movements provides researchers from a wide variety of fields with insights into human behavior.
Many scientific researchers have adopted eye tracking as an established research methodology because it:
- Is an objective means to gain a deep understanding of human behavior.
- Delivers unique insights into the cognitive processes underlying visual behavior and attention.
- Is an unobtrusive and non-invasive technology that allows study participants to behave naturally during data collection.
- Is a versatile and portable technology that you can use in the lab and the field.
- Complements many other existing data collection methods, including EEG and physiological measures.
