DURIP Improving technical capabilities and expanding capacities of eye-tracking equipment for psychophysiological research

Abstract

The current proposal seeks funding to greatly expand the technical capabilities and efficiency of a psychophysiology laboratory at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). Dr. Matthew Robison, the Principal Investigator of the Controlled Attention and Memory Laboratory (CAMLab) at UTA, has been working collaborative with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory to leverage eye-tracking and pupillometry embedded within behavioral assessments to improve the validity and reliability of evaluative tools. Specifically, Dr. Robison#s research has shown that pupillary dynamics are predictive of cognitive capacities that are critical for high-stakes roles in theU.S. Navy, such as aviation and air-traffic control. The requested funds would significantly advance both the technical capabilities of the eye-tracking equipment and the volume and efficiency of data collection efforts.
