Visual Attention Laboratory (VALab)

Lead People

• Marc Pomplun, Department Chair, Professor

Director(s): Marc Pomplun

VALab studies the attentional mechanisms underlying human vision and is particularly interested in investigating how attention is controlled for efficient performance of visual tasks. The main research paradigms are eye-movement recording and computational modeling. The findings resulting from this research are applied to the construction of computer vision systems and human-computer interfaces. More specifically, the lab focuses on studying human eye movements, computational modeling of cognitive and perceptual processes, and developing gaze-controlled human-computer interfaces.
