Webinar information
Dr. Daniela Corbetta discusses varied ways her lab has been using remote eye-tracking in conjunction with goal-directed actions with infants aged between 2.5 and 24 months. The eye tracker is able to obtain good eye-tracking accuracy, so she can use the technology with infants as young as 2.5 months of age, and without the need to instrument infants with head gears. The technique she uses won’t be applicable to researchers interested in tracking vision during locomotion, but for more sedentary tasks such as reaching, it offers an effective tool allowing good mapping between vision and action.
