Recording Natural Stimuli

The "CatCam" Project: What does a cat see when walking freely outside?

Databases: Download unbiased outdoor movies (taken by our cats) and high resolution natural scenes (taken by us).

Eyetracking I: Overt Attention in Natural Stimuli

Luminance-Contrast: Is the correlation between contrast and fixation causal? Are monkeys different from humans?

Higher Order Statistics: Does higher order stucture affect human fixations?

Color: Does color attract attention or rather our expectation?

Task: Sensory signals and task guide fixations - but what are their relative contributions?

Free Exploration: Most eyetracking is done in the lab with fixed head and other restraints - are eye-movements different in unrestrained real-world behavior?

Eyetracking II: Attention and Rivalry

Necker-Cube: Are eyemovements related to perceputal switching?
