The Winter School Eye Tracking - Experimental Design, Implementation, and
Analysis targets at PhD students and early PostDocs (coming from any
research field) who are using, or planning to use, eye tracking in their
research. Internationally recognized experts will provide lectures and
hands-on sessions on eye tracking methodology, experimental design, and
analysis.



Concept

Eye tracking allows us to measure a person’s visual attention, yielding a
rich source of information on where, when, how long, and in which sequence
certain information on displays or in 3D space is looked at. Not
surprisingly, eye tracking has become a popular method for investigating
research questions related to human cognitive processes in many disciplines.
In engineering, for instance, eye tracking can be used to gain insights on
how humans interact with tools, physical space, or artificial agents. These
insights can be turned into guidelines for interaction design or for spatial
planning, leading to engineering products better suited to be used by
humans.

Including eye tracking methodology into one's research in an efficient and
effective way, however, requires a variety of capabilities which 1st year
PhD students typically do not have. These include a sound knowledge of the
physical and cognitive background of human visual processing, technical
skills to cope with large amounts of eye tracking data, statistical methods
to interpret the data in a meaningful way, as well as competences in
designing an empirical eye tracking experiment.

This 5-day Winter School aims at helping students extend their knowledge and
skills in eye tracking methodology, experimental design, and analysis. An
international and interdisciplinary audience of students using eye tracking
in their research will be taught by internationally recognized experts.
Lectures will be accompanied by hands-on experiences with eye trackers.
Students will present their research projects and receive individual
feedback from the experts. One goal of the Winter School is also to enable
networking among participants and to encourage future cooperation.

Building on the successful 2016 Winter School, the 2023 School will be
updated to focus on state-of-the-art software (licensed and open-source,
e.g., PsychoPy and Pupil Labs) and hardware. Hands-on exercises will focus
on table-mounted eye trackers.



Keynote Speaker

Enkelejda Kasneci, Human-Centered Technologies for Learning, Technical
University of Munich

"On opportunities and challenges of eye tracking and machine learning for
adaptive educational interfaces and classroom research"
