A PhD place is available in the Lingnan Visual Cognition Lab (PI: Will Hayward) for a funded project on idiosyncratic eye-movement patterns to faces. The project will involve using data analytic methods to understand why different people scan faces differently.
Experience with eye-tracking, both using desktop systems (e.g., Eyelink 1000 or Tobii Pro Fusion) and head-mounted systems (e.g., Pupil Labs Neon), is an advantage but not necessary. Experience with PsychoPy and PsychToolbox is also helpful. An example paper
on this line of research can be found here:</div>
