Eye-Tracking

Our lab uses Pupil Labs Neon Eye-Tracking Glasses to study how adults and children allocate their visual attention during various contexts (e.g., tool use, handwriting). The Neon glasses allow us to capture precise, first-person data, providing valuable insights into how visual attention supports manual actions. We also aim to leverage the eye tracking technique to explore visual attention in more naturalistic, real-world environments.
