Workshop on “Serial and Parallel Processing in
Saturday 9 October 2010
At the
Sponsored by the Experimental Psychology Society
This is a workshop organized by
(1) To bring together a group of distinguished researchers working on eye movement control and push forward our understanding of one of the most controversial questions in current eye movement research.
(2) To honour Professor Alan Kennedy and his seminal contributions to eye movement research.
The workshop will focus on the question of how we use our eyes to gather information from printed text. This has been at the heart of eye movement research since the first objective measurements of eye movements were made in the late 19th Century. In contemporary research, this issue continues to dominate the global eye movement research community.
This is an open event, with attendance open to all EPS members, postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers (at their own expense). Attendance will be free to encourage young researchers to attend and have the opportunity to take part in discussions with the world’s leading experts in this field.
We request that you email to Elizabeth Evans ([log in to unmask]) at the School’s office to signal your attendance. This will help us select the most appropriate room (which will be clearly sign-posted on the day) and plan for the catering.
