    • Date: Wednesday, 28th, 11.30-12.30

    • Place: KD2Lab, Teamroom A

    • Title: Research in action: adventures with eye-tracking and lessons learnt

       

    This presentation will provide an overview of a research program that emerged from a mix of interdisciplinary research interests and opportunities and will demonstrate the appeals and pitfalls of research using eyetracking. Rather than going into technical details of one project the presentation will briefly discuss several projects, all concerning consumer decision making (including assortment, pricing and decision research) and how these involved some form of eyetracking. The overview will explain how eyetracking can facilitate interdisciplinary research and act as a research platform for new collaborations and explorations, provided certain criteria are met. The presenter will refer to experiences gained from the development of the behavioural lab at Monash University
