The team organizes methodological training, equipment rental and shares expertise on designing experiments, use of different equipment, and applications of various types of analytical tools.
Scientific description
Research conducted at Turku EyeLabs covers various topics from basic research on cognitive processes to studies about higher-order cognition, such as learning in different domains and contexts. We conduct research across faculty boundaries and bring together researchers with different backgrounds, e.g., psychology, educational sciences, linguistics, and medicine. The laboratories host various eye tracking systems: Eyelink Portable Duo, Eyelink 1000, Eyelink 1000+, Tobii Pro X3-120, Tobii TX-300, Tobii Pro Glasses 2, Tobii Pro VR integration (with HTC Vive headset). It also provides possibilities for combining eye trackers with other measurement systems, such as psychophysiological measurements (Biopac) and EEG (NeurOne).
