Workshop
Eye Movements, Cognition and Communication (EMCoC)
within
SECOND BIENNIAL CONFERENCE ON COGNITIVE SCIENCE
June 9-13, 2006, St. Petersburg
2nd Call for Papers
The Russian Association for Cognitive Studies and EU Network-of-Excellence
COGAIN (Communication by Gaze Interaction) invite submissions for the First
Workshop on Eye Movements, Cognition and Communication (EMCoC) to be held on
June13, 2006, in St. Petersburg. Intentional activity is the key component
of any biological and -- in an increasing way -- artificial information
processing. EMCoC is the first of what we hope will be a number of
scientific meetings that bring together researchers and practitioners in
areas such as eye movements, active vision, attention and action,
neurocognitive and neuroaffective mechanisms of oculomotor activity in
cognitive and communicative tasks, innovative applications of eye-tracking
in all domains, especially for communication and security purposes (e.g. in
adaptive assistance systems).
The Workshop encourages submissions on the following topics:
* Relationship between attention and eye movements,
* Ambient vs. focal modes of oculomotor activity,
* Eye movements and scene recognition,
* Visual fixations and levels-of-processing effects in cognitive tasks,
* Eye movements in language processing and communication,
* Innovative applications of eye-tracking research,
* New ways of data-analysis and presentation (attentional landscapes,
fixation maps, etc.),
* Advances in the methodology of eye-tracking and its combination with brain
activity analysis.
The goal of the Workshop is twofold:
- to discuss the state-of-the-art of eye movement research in cognitive
science
- to attract the interest of cognitive community to eye-tracking and its
innovative applications.
EXTENDED SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 15, 2005.

There are two categories for submission:
PAPERS (20- or 30-minute spoken presentations) and POSTERS.
Submitted abstracts should be in Russian or English and no longer than 2
pages (single-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 type size), including
illustrations and references. They will be evaluated through peer review
with respect to several criteria, including originality, quality, and
significance of research, relevance to a broad audience of cognitive science
researchers, and clarity of presentation. One author cannot participate in
more than two submitted papers (only once as a first author).
Papers accepted for oral presentation will be presented at the
conference as scheduled talks. Papers accepted for poster presentation will
be presented at a poster session at the conference. All papers may present
results from completed original unpublished research as well as report on
current research with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and
perspectives.
FORMAT: MS Word file attached to an e-mail message. At the beginning of an
abstract please indicate the following information:
- the title of the paper
- the author(s) information, including:
full name
institutional affiliation
postal address
phone number
e-mail address
- 5 to 7 keywords
- Whether the papers is intended to be presented as talk or as poster
The Program Committee will inform the authors of its decision by FEBRUARY
15, 2006. Abstracts of the accepted papers will be published by the
beginning of the conference.
