Research domains
Scientific research
Developmental psychology
Enabling researchers to study gaze behavior, one of the first developments, opening the door to a child's mind long before acquiring language.
Scientific research
Clinical research
Clinical researchers use eye tracking to explore biomarkers for impaired brain function, enabling new tools for diagnosis, rehabilitation, and treatment.
Scientific research
Human factors and engineering
Eye tracking helps us to see how humans are engaging with each system, machine and process. Understanding the human element is key when developing systems.
Scientific research
Reading and language
Eye tracking has become an established tool to objectively measure human language processing and eye movements in reading.
Scientific research
Learning and education
Eye tracking data help researchers develop diagnostic tools and instruction material for innovative learning.
Scientific research
Academic marketing and consumer research
Eye tracking is used to understand how consumers view, process, and respond to messaging, retail environments, and various media channels and devices.
Scientific research
Sports performance research
Our eye tracking solutions capture gaze behavior data that can be used for developing improved training programs, assessment methods, and injury prevention strategies.
Scientific research
Nonhuman primate
Neuroscientists and psychologists use eye tracking in nonhuman primate research to explore evolutionary conserved behaviors and cognitive processes.
The role of eye tracking in scientific research
The study of eye movements provides researchers from a wide variety of fields with insights into human behavior. Many scientific researchers have adopted eye tracking as an established research methodology because it:
Is an objective means to gain a deep understanding of human behavior.
Delivers unique insights into the cognitive processes underlying visual behavior and attention.
Is an unobtrusive and non-invasive technology that allows study participants to behave naturally during data collection.
Is a versatile and portable technology that you can use in the lab and the field.
Complements many other existing data collection methods, including EEG and physiological measures.
