Landmarks in Perception

A new special issue of Perception, edited by Ben Tatler, Peter Thompson, Tom Troscianko, has now been published.

This volume revisits ten of the classic and most influential papers to have appeared in the journal Perception since it started in 1972. In each case the original authors provide an update and leading researchers comment on the impact that the classic paper has had on subsequent research in the field.

The special issue is available online, and can also be purchased individually by non-subscribers to the journal.

Workshop on Gaze patterns in dynamic displays

Ben Tatler will be speaking at a workshop on gaze patterns in dynamic displays in Leipzig, Germany, on June 19-20th. The remit of the workshop is as follows: “To date most experimental paradigms have focused on gaze in static situations. With improvements in technology and increasingly sophisticated models it has become feasible to investigate more complex dynamic situations. By bringing together experts on eye movement tracking, virtual reality, gaze modeling, and clinical applications we hope to facilitate cross-disciplinary exchange and to discuss new paradigms.” More information about the workshop can be found here.

Perception editorial board

Ben Tatler will be joining the editorial board of Perception in July 2009.

This journal has a proud history of publishing experimental results and theoretical ideas ranging over the fields of human, animal, and machine perception. Perception was founded in 1972 by Richard Gregory.

Impact factor (2007): 1.617

Talk in Marburg

Ben Tatler will be giving a talk at the Philipps-Universität in Marburg, Germany on 9th June 2009. The talk is entitled “Eye guidance in natural behaviour” and will discuss the limitations of static scene viewing paradigms and the need to study eye movements in the context of natural behaviour.

New website

We are launching this new AVL website. This site contains more information than our previous site about the current research projects we are involved in and our publications. We hope you find this useful and informative. If you spot any problems, broken links etc then please email Ben Tatler.

We will try to keep this news page up to date for upcoming events we are involved in and papers as they come out. To keep updated, why not subscribe to the RSS feed?

Thanks.
