see our eye-tracking swarm of Yosemite Valley


We began analyzing keystroke data, studying the dynamics of language production

Maryam (Ph.D. student) giving her guest presentation on computer-mouse dynamics

Manuel and Faustina participating in the "relay" eye tracking training exercise

This is a heat map of all attendee data (including Rick!), showing viewing of Yosemite Valley; the middle is Half Dome!

In one of our exercises, students learned how to run experiments using the SMI RED-m, and visualize eye-tracking data in BeGaze

Sara and Monica participating in the "relay" eye tracking training exercise

Hacking at RStudio, and showcasing pupil diameter change during scene viewing

We ate pizza from Me 'n Ed's Merced during lunch breaks; cheese dynamics

The view from the eye cameras of the SMI ETG that the students learned to position and calibrate.

Manuel, Abraham, and Kevin calibrating Kevin on the SMI ETG and discussing its relationship to the SMI RED-m they learned the prior day.

Professor Warlaumont, guest speaker, trying out the HTC Vive VR system.

Mario showcasing the HTC Vive VR system to the workshop attendees.

We ate more pizza and it was pretty good.

Guest Speakers

Anne

Dr. Anne Warlaumont is a professor in COGS and will showcase an example of a large-scale dynamic data project in her lab, called HomeBank.

Maryam

Maryam Tabatabaeian is a Ph.D. student in COGS and will describe how RStudio is useful in her cutting-edge analysis of dynamic data.

Till

Till Bergmann is a Ph.D. student in COGS, and is starting a Data Science workshop this summer. He will describe how R and RStudio are useful in industry.

Most of the workshop will be led by Rick Dale, faculty in COGS
