Abstract

The use of eye tracking to understand which regions of a visual image are important in guiding behaviour is a well-established technique with a long history of application; particularly in reading and scene analysis. More recently, eye tracking has been applied in the realm of object recognition to gain further understanding of which features may be important in supporting the object recognition process.

Dr Cristino will be presenting data investigating the role of stereo disparity during three dimensional object recognition, demonstrating a paradigm allowing the analysis of eye movement patterns across viewpoints. He will also be presenting recordings of event-related potentials (ERPs) and eye movements, comparing the processing of possible and impossible objects (according to the law of geometry) in a simple classification task.

Biography

Dr Filipe Cristino received a PhD in computer vision from Liverpool John Moores University, and then worked a few years in a private engineering research company in Liverpool. In a career move, he embarked on a series of postdocs in psychology at Bristol University and then at Bangor University. In 2016, he became a lecturer in psychology at Bangor University. He has been a senior lecturer at Nottingham Trent University since 2017. Using eye tracking, modelling and psychophysics, Dr Cristino's research focuses primarily on understanding the relationship between the gazed location and the on-going behavioural task.
