This is not a student assistantship. The goal of my research is to understand how people comprehend and remember material they have read. One way I study reading is by measuring people's eye movements as they read. I am looking for a student to help me write programs to graphically display the pattern of fixations made while reading. Specifically, when a person reads a text, my eyetracking system records the duration and location of every fixation made.
Location is recorded as line number on a page and character position on the line.
Below is an illustration of how the output might appear. I am flexible about the exact specifications of the display and how this is accomplished. You can learn more about the type of research I perform by reading my research summary .
