EyeTracKids 2012 - Eye Tracking Methodology in Child and Infant Research
Date: Wednesday, June 6, 2012
Venue: Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
1300 Nicollet Mall
Minneapolis, MN 55403, USA
Website: www.eyetrackids.com
Welcome to EyeTracKids 2012 Conference, the 5th international developmental psychology eye tracking methods conference organized by Tobii. The principal goal of this conference is to serve as a meeting point between developmental psychology researchers who use or are considering using eye tracking in their research. We invite you, as a developmental psychology researcher interested in eye tracking, to this one-day conference to learn more about eye tracking as a technology and methodology. International researchers will present their work during the conference and share experiences and insights on how they use eye tracking in their research. This includes experimental design, working with participants and data collection, and the processing and analysis of gaze data. More information...
Course - Understanding Eye Tracking Systems Ecology and Behavior
Date: Tue, June 5, 2012
Venue: Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
1300 Nicollet Mall
Minneapolis, MN 55403, USA
Website: http://www.tobii.com/eye-tracking-research/global/services/training-events/understanding-eye-tracking-systems-ecology-and-behavior/
Understanding how an eye tracking setup works is a fundamental step to design good experiments involving eye tracking. In this course we will present some tutorials and lectures that address how remote eye trackers work, as well as discuss good practices when designing eye-tracking experiments using computerized systems to collect and analyze the data.
This course is intended for novice or experienced users of remote eye tracking systems, as well as for those who have never used eye tracking before but want to have an introduction to eye tracking methodology. More information...

Baby FACS Workshop
Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 2:00pm - 6:30pm
Hilton Minneapolis, Marquette Ballroom Salon V
Registration: $100 - please preregister by emailing organizer Harriet Oster at harriet.oster@nyu.edu
Oster’s Baby FACS (Facial Action Coding System for Infants and Young Children) is a modification for infants and young children of Ekman, Friesen, & Hager’s fine-grained, anatomically based adult FACS. The Baby FACS manual has recently been revised, with new photo and video illustrations of basic Baby FACS Action Units and distinctive infant facial expressions. Strategies for coding varying intensities and configurations of positive and negative affect expressions will be presented. This is an introductory workshop; prior FACS training is not required.
