Mission: VALab studies the attentional mechanisms underlying human vision and is particularly interested in investigating how attention is controlled for efficient performance of visual tasks. The main research paradigms are eye-movement recording and computational modeling. The findings resulting from this research are applied to the construction of computer vision systems and human-computer interfaces. More specifically, there are three main areas of research that the lab focuses on: Studying Human Eye Movements, Computational Modeling of Cognitive and Perceptual Processes, and Developing Gaze-Controlled Human-Computer Interfaces. Hardware and Software:
- Eyelink II System for binocular real-time eye-movement recording
- Dual pan-and-tilt camera system for active stereo computer vision
- Ferro-electric shutter glasses for accurate virtual 3D-image perception
