Measuring visual attention, emotional arousal, valence and cognitive processing with the iMotions Platform

Webinar Description: In this sponsor webinar, iMotions will present their software solution for multimodal data collection and signal processing for academic and commercial research on human behavior. Explore how to bring your research towards multi-modal in a single platform by synchronizing eye tracking data with physiological and emotional data from biosensor signals like facial expression analysis, electrocardiogram, electrodermal activity, and electroencephalography. The webinar will feature an in-depth, live demo of iMotions for streamlined data collection, stimulus presentation, and signal processing & analysis in transparent R notebooks, which highlight research applications such as cognitive science, screen-based attentional and reading tasks, and mobile glasses studies.

Tobii: Celebrating 20 years of revolutionizing eye tracking research and technology

Webinar Description: This workshop will present Tobii Pro's innovative solutions for conducting research within computer-based tasks and through wearable applications. We will discuss the newest options in our portfolio, from hardware, software features & functionality, services, and partnerships with biometrics for data integration.

We will provide a special review of our two metrics tests: laboratory-based metrics, and a first of its kind extensive accuracy and precision field metrics test. The field test spanned over 400 participants, 2 countries, and contained numerous participant variables like eye color, eye shape, and vision correction. Our field testing is a complementary report to our laboratory metrics tests.

We will be joined by an expert panel of engineers & cognitive scientists from our team to answer questions and have a discussion of where we've been in the past, and where eye tracking will go into the future.

We welcome questions ahead of the presentation! Please email marisa.biondi@tobii.com
