Course objectives
The course is designes for students who have no experience with the eye-tracking method and also for those who already have a basic overview and knowledge of eye-tracking. The aim of the course is to expand and deepen this knowledge, and at the same time to introduce in more detail the eye-tracking devices, which are located in HUME Lab - Experimental Humanities Laboratory at the Faculty of Arts MU. The course will introduce the operation of the equipment, the creation of experiments and data analysis in eye-tracking studies.
