EEG and Eye Movement Co-Registration Symposium

ETA2012 Symposium on EEG and Eye Movement Co-Registration

Significant progress has been made in overcoming many of the technical obstacles to simultaneously gathering brain-electrical (EEG) and eye movement (EM) data under free-viewing conditions. Much of the innovation has taken place in the reading area. Traditionally, EEG studies of reading have employed a rather restrictive paradigm in which words are presented serially in the same location on a screen and the reader is encouraged not to move their eyes. More recently, several research groups have managed to extract reliable event-related potentials time-locked to fixations in EEG-EM paradigms involving natural reading.

The aim of this symposium, part of the inaugural Australian eye tracking conference (ETA2012) organised by CQUniversity Australia, is to bring together researchers in the region who are working on EEG-EM co-registration. Submission topics are not restricted to the area of reading research. The symposium will have as a guest speaker, Reinhold Kliegl from the University of Potsdam, who has worked extensively in reading research including EEG-EM co-registration. Additional contributions are now invited from other researchers working in the co-registration field.

Dr. Ronan Reilly

This symposium is being chaired by Ronan Reilly, MARCS Auditory Laboratories, University of Western Sydney and Peter de Lissa, Centre for Cognitive Science, Macquarie University. For more information about the Symposium, please contact Dr. Reilly at: r.reilly@uws.edu.au.
