[visionlist] Interactive Eye Gaze workshop - poster deadline extended

[Antonia Hamilton]

Dear colleagues,



the deadline for poster submission for the “Interactive Eye Gaze” two-day
event at the University College London on 12th and 13th of February 2018 has
just been EXTENDED until the 8th of December.





*Event Topic*: In the real world, our eyes both *encode *useful information
from the environment and *signal *one’s perceptual states to others. This
event aims to bring together researchers from different backgrounds to
discuss novel theoretical and methodological frameworks that can channel
the complexity of the dual function of eye gaze in the real world into a
coherent approach. We hope that this discussion will outline clear
directions for future research and help advance cognitive theories of human
social interactions.


*Day 1: Conference *
*February 12th, 2018 - Interactive Eye Gaze: A Window to Typical and
Atypical Social Behaviours*
This conference day will give an overview of state-of-the-art research on
social attention and interactive eye gaze. With a diverse group of
speakers, this conference will explore how both seeing (encoding) and being
seen (signalling) can influence social cognition in adults with and without
autism spectrum conditions, with an emphasis on how social attention
differs between the lab and the real world.
*Submit a poster here until 8th of December 2017*:

*Day 2: Workshop*
*February 13th, 2018 - Interactive Eye Gaze: Methodological Advances from
the Lab to the Real World*
This methods workshop day is specifically aimed at postgraduate students
and early career researchers coming from a variety of backgrounds but with
a common strong interest on social eye gaze. During this workshop, experts
in the field of interactive eye gaze will discuss the utility and
challenges of novel eye-tracking methods targeting the signalling function
of eye gaze. Attendees will learn about advanced methods to design
experiments that capture the signalling function of gaze, as well as
techniques to analyse complex datasets generated by interactive
eye-tracking. There will be opportunities for a *“Meet the Expert” sessions*
!



*Keynote speakers:*
Prof. Alan Kingstone – Brain, Attention & Reality Lab, University of
British Columbia, Vancouver
Dr. Daniel Richardson – EyeThink Lab, University College London, London
Dr. Megan Freeth – Department of Psychology, University of Sheffield,
Sheffield

*Registration:* Registration fees are £25 for the conference day and £10
for the workshop day (early bird fees available). Please, note that you can
choose to attend one or two days. Places are limited and registration will
close when all places are filled. Travel bursaries are not available. *Register
