Eye-tracking = reading the mind

Eye activity measures are utilized to make inferences about human activity. While much is known how to use the eye to infer workload, less is known about inferring higher-level cognitive processes from lower-level eye movements. The main question addressed in the workshop is how to use eye activity measures in order to support higher-level cognitive processes. The workshop mainly serves to establish an international special interest group interested in making research proposals about the above-mentioned topic. The workshop entails a full day using the morning to establish a short overview of the state-of-the-art in eye activity measures and applications. The afternoon will be used to form consortia and generate research proposal ideas. People interested are required to shortly motivate their attendance by describing their research interest, experience, and a visionary statement that identifies knowledge gaps and possible approaches to bridge them (max. 500 words).
