Understanding Vision: Social, cognitive and clinical perspectives

If you are interested in social, cognitive or clinical science, we are running a free online conference dedicated to exploring this research using eye-tracking! Come along to see how your area of study can be investigated using this method and hear from top researchers in this field. Topics include Autism and eye-tracking, VR and even what happens when we look at poop!

The conference will include keynote speakers, poster sessions and early career talks. We will also have a careers session where we will discuss next steps in your career!

As a final year SeNSS PhD student I have attended my fair share of conferences and I know how nerve-racking presenting your work can be! My colleague and I (Priscilla Martinez-Cedillo), have decided to host a free online conference dedicated to our joint love of eye-tracking. Run by postgrad students, for postgrad students, the conference will be a safe space for you to present your work, ask questions, and hear from our experts about how you can use eye-tracking to study a range of topics. This is a great opportunity for you to add a conference attendance or presentation to your CV and also support a fellow SeNSS student. So if your research area falls into social, cognitive or clinical science, we would love to hear from you!

To get involved you can either register to attend (just bring your questions and coffee), present a poster (planned research also accepted) or apply for a 10 minute early career talk!

If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact us:
