There is no doubt that we live on the Google Earth. I put the original version KeyHole on the Watch List almost a year ago. It looks like a fun toy, but to turn it into a grand idea, here is a thought.
Google should levege its image search database, and map images according to the […]

Tags: That magical 180 ms. I have seen over and over again in reading tasks that fixation duration distributions peak at around 160-180ms, and again at around 250-350ms. The first peak seems to be remarkably stable across populations.
The following is a figure from Velichkovsky et al (2005), showing the relationship between fixation duration and […]

Tags: Blog - Julia West » eyePatterns eyePatterns March 29th, 2005 eyePatterns, my masters project, is a tool for organizing, analyzing, and visualizing gaze sequence (or scanpath, trace, fixation sequence, time sequence) data. Its need arises from the complete lack of tools to analyze sequential eye path data and thus is marketed to eye tracking […]

Tags: Tried the EyeFollower from LC Technology at ECEM. It’s a quite impressive system. With 2 cameras sitting on quick pan-tilt bases, the system claims to sample at 120 Hz — interpolated across the 2 60Hz cameras. It seems to be able to track the pupil with slow head movements, but it’s not clear what’s the […]

Erik Reichle and Patryk Laurent reported their first effort to model eye movement programming in reading using a reinforcement learning algorithm on ECEM13. That’s a route I have been thinking since my dissertation work. I’ve played with a toy model, but should get back to it now.
I was looking for someone at Duke who does […]
