At the Vision Research Laboratory we use eye-tracking technology to study attention processes involved in visual exploration.
History of the Visual Research Laboratory
The Vision Research Lab was established in 1999 with the help of an equipment grant from the College of Liberal Arts and Education.
Many students have undergone hands-on research training (as research assistants) in the laboratory.
Some of these student (undergraduates included) have presented their research at regional conferences.
A few undergraduate students have gone on to PhD programs in Psychology.

“Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seems several simultaneously possible objects of trains of thought …” W. James, 1890.
