Aim:

Eye-tracking technology has become broadly available and affordable. This development has enabled the investigation of eye movements and visual processing mechanisms in different applications. In the medical context, eye-tracking devices have been mainly employed during research of disease-related visual search behaviour, e.g., in ophthalmology, psychology, or neurology. Newer studies in the realm of assistive technologies have employed eye tracking to learn from the viewing behaviour of experts (e.g., expert surgeons). This session explores the potential of eye tracking in (bio)-medical applications.

Topics:

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit their work related, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Eye-tracking data analysis
- Visual Processing
- Visual Attention and Eye Movements
- Eye-tracking applications in Neurology, Ophthalmology and Psychology
- Assistive Technologies
- Attentional guidance
- Gaze enhanced interaction / multimodal interaction
- Cognition and attention
- Usability studies
- Eye movement behavior in everyday activities such as driving and reading
