The study of eye movements is fundamental in cognitive research, as it provides valuable information about the attentional, memory and emotional processes of individuals. Eye-tracking techniques make it possible to obtain precise data on where participants move their eyes and where they fixate their gaze, making it possible to analyse visual behaviour in controlled experimental settings and everyday situations. Eye-tracking methods are of great importance in fields such as education, psychology, neuroscience, applied linguistics and human-computer interface design, among others.
This continuing education programme aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of eye-tracking and pupiometry techniques and their application in various fields of experimental and applied research. This course is designed for professionals and academics interested in the study of human cognition through eye-tracking and eye movement analysis, providing both a theoretical background and practical information for the use of eye-tracking devices and the analysis of the data obtained.
Syllabus
This block will focus on establishing the theoretical foundations necessary to understand eye-tracking and pupillometry. The neurocognitive principles underlying eye movements and their relationship to cognitive processes such as attention and memory will be addressed. Participants will explore the anatomy of the eye and the different types of eye movements, such as saccades and fixations, as well as variations in pupillary diameter. This knowledge will enable learners to understand how and why these movements occur and how they can be interpreted in terms of cognitive activity.
