The Eyegaze Communication System

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

"As a user sits in front of the Eyegaze monitor, a specialized video camera mounted below the monitor observes one of the user's eyes.  Sophisticated image‑ processing software in the Eyegaze System's computer continually analyzes the video image of the eye and determines where the user is looking on the screen.  Nothing is attached to the user's head or body."

"In addition to participating in facial attractiveness experiments, you can also complete lifestyle and personality questionnaires about characteristics that may be associated with face and voice preferences and see how you compare to others. We post all our study results after we have finished collecting data.

You can also learn about our computer-graphic technology and read about some of the findings of our previous studies."

This site contanis most pod casts and some videos about interesting discoveries in psychology. In particular he has a good video episode about finding Finding Little Albert. I like his video technique of overlaying a face shot of the narrator over the powerpoint presentation.

Distracted Driving Laws Don't Stop Crashes (STUDY)

"WASHINGTON -- A new insurance industry study has found that state laws banning the use of handheld devices to make calls or send text messages while driving have not resulted in fewer vehicle crashes."

How does this make sense knowing what we know about attentional resources?

How can we reconcile these findings when we see numerous examples a driving accidents while texting...

"In 1922, Matthew Luckiesh wrote an optical illusions book titled - Visual Illusions: Their Causes, Characteristics and Applications. It was probably the first book to comprehensively cover the topic of Optical Illusions, or Visual Illusions, as they were called then.

On this optical illusion web site, we present this book to you, chock full of optical illusion information. It will be of interest to both the person who is fascinated by optical illusions and asks, "How do optical illusions work?" and also to the person doing serious research on the science of optical illusions. Some editing of the book has been done."
