The Australian Eye-Tracking Conference 2018 is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary conference with the primary goal of providing a forum for cutting edge eye-tracking (ET) research.

Advances in eye-movement technology have allowed researchers to engage with previously impregnable research questions across diverse disciplines and areas, including developmental science, neuro-cognition, linguistics, communication, education, applied perspectives and clinical research.

Progress in knowledge and technology, as well as ever-evolving methods of data analysis, are bringing new opportunities as well as challenges. These advances will be explored in depth at AusET2018, providing opportunities for researchers to discuss the latest approaches to eye-tracking research including various co-registration methods with neurophysiology and electrophysiology.

The conference will bring together international and local researchers from academia and industry to engage with eye-movement research, and encourage new collaborations across disciplines and institutions. This network of diverse backgrounds, expertise and methodologies will enhance innovation, and contribute to a dynamic future for eye-movement research.

CONFIRMED KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Professor Scott Johnson, Director of the Baby Lab (University of California)
Professor Simon Liversedge, Professor of Psychology, Deputy Head (Research) and Co-Director of the Centre for Vision and Cognition (University of Southampton)
Dr Valerie Benson, Senior Lecturer Psychology (University of Southampton)
Talks, Posters and Symposia
We invite abstracts of original research using eye-tracking or co-registration with neurophysiology or electrophysiology. See the Submissions page for more details.

SUBMISSIONS

Individual Talks and Posters
We invite abstracts for talks or posters on high-quality and original research using eye-tracking, and concurrent eye-tracking and neurophysiology or electrophysiology. We are particularly interested in submissions reflecting novel methodologies or data-analysis methods. Abstracts across disciplines and research areas are invited, including but not exclusive to:

• Developmental science
• Language science (e.g. reading and writing processes)
• Neuro-cognition (e.g. inhibitory control, attention)
• Hearing and communication
• Translation and interpreting processes
• Education (e.g. cognitive load, instructional design, learning mechanisms)
• Performing arts and media
• Applied perspectives (e.g. webpage usability, marketing)
Abstract submissions should be a maximum of one page with 500 words (single spaced, size 12 Times New Roman font), plus an additional page for figure(s) and references. Individual talks will be 20 minutes (15 minutes + 5 minutes discussion).
Poster presentations should report high quality original research and be interactive as oral presentations. The advantage of a poster presentation is that presenters can engage in detailed discussions while presenting the study. We encourage early-career researchers and students to submit their ongoing work in this format.

Symposia
In addition to submissions for individual talks, we also invite symposium submissions from all fields of eye-movement research. Symposia are thematic sessions on a topic that reflects significant progress and novelty. Submissions for symposia should consist of a one-page symposium abstract, and an abstract for each paper within the symposium. Each of these should be no longer than one page with 500 words (single spaced, size 12 Times New Roman font), plus an additional page (per paper) for figure(s) and references.

Symposia can include up to five talks (or four talks plus a discussant) of 20 minutes each (15 minutes + 5 minutes discussion), all presenting original research.

Early due date: 2 October 2017 (for notification on 13 November 2017)
Final due date: 13 November 2017 (for notification on 15 January 2018)

Submissions in PDF format may be uploaded from Wednesday 9 August 2017.
