Projects for P1 and/or P2

Eye-movement similarity (P1)

The goal is to participate in the development of a python package for eye-movement data analysis (fixations, scanpath). The project is based at the Vienna Cognitive Science Hub and involves working on data from art history, psychology and open eye-movement datasets. The goal is to add new functionalities to the package (e.g., improved time-series analysis), making it more user friendly, and testing the algorithms on different data-sets, to come up with the best default settings, and work toward an eventual publication as open source software.
