DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Niels Kloosterman\n\nThe RTG 2753 is pleased to anno
 unce a course on Eye Tracking and Pupillometry in the framework of its Met
 hods Academy. \nDates: 08th to the 10th of June 2026\nTimes: Days 1 – 2
 : 9:00–18:00\nDay 3: 9:00–13:30\nInstructor: Dr. Niels A. Kloosterman\
 , Universität zu Lübeck\nVenue: UHH campus\, room 4018 & Eye tracking la
 b \nAbstract: \nFrom Pupils to Prediction: Eye Tracking as a Window into 
 Cognitive Dynamics\nEye tracking provides a powerful window into the dynam
 ics of human cognition. In addition to eye gaze behavior\, ocular signals 
 such as pupil dilation and spontaneous eye blinks reflect internal cogniti
 ve and neural states related to attention\, arousal\, and decision-making.
  \nThis workshop introduces modern approaches for analyzing eye-tracking 
 data in cognitive neuroscience\, with a focus on gaze dynamics and pupil-l
 inked arousal. Participants will learn how these signals can be aligned to
  experimental events\, preprocessed\, and analyzed using contemporary mode
 ling approaches. Through conceptual explanations\, live demonstrations and
  guided analysis\, the workshop demonstrates how eye-tracking measures can
  be used to study attention\, cognitive effort\, learning\, and adaptive b
 ehavior.\nA special focus of the workshop is time-resolved deconvolution a
 nalysis for pupil data\, which enables researchers to disentangle overlapp
 ing cognitive processes in temporally extended signals and can also be app
 lied to other sluggish measures such as fMRI.\nParticipant Requirements:\n
 \nOwn laptop with a recent\, active MATLAB installation.\nRegistered parti
 cipants will receive two papers as preparation literature.\n\n \nPlease r
 efer to the attached programme for an overview of topics. \nNiels A. Klo
 osterman holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Amst
 erdam and is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Psychology at
  Universität zu Lübeck\, where he heads the Adaptive Brain and Cognition
  Lab.\n\n \n\nhttps://www.conferences.uni-hamburg.de/event/715/
