Dr. Laura Dempere-Marco
|
| Centre for Brain and Cognition (Computational Neuroscience
Group). Department of Information and Communication Technologies.
Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona. Spain. |
| Ramon y Cajal Research Fellow |
| Laura Dempere-Marco graduated in Physics
(1998) and obtained an MSc degree in Physics (1999) from
Universitat de València. In 2000, she was awarded
an MSc degree in Remote Sensing and Image Processing Technologies
from the University of Edinburgh. She then continued her
doctoral studies at the Department of Computing at Imperial
College London and obtained her PhD in Computer Vision
in 2004. During this time, she collaborated with two hospitals,
Royal Brompton and Charing Cross, both associated with
the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London. Her
thesis was focused on expert knowledge acquisition from
visual search behaviour, as derived from eye-tracking
experiments, to assist radiologists in the diagnostic
process. In particular, the thesis combined two basic
aspects: 1) use of artificial vision techniques for extracting
quantitative information from medical images, and 2) perception,
visual attention deployment and biological fundamentals
of visual processing in the brain. She is currently a
Ramon y Cajal Research Fellow in the Computational Neuroscience
Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). Her research
interests include visual attention deployment, the relationship
between eye movements and attention, and neural dynamics
in visual tasks. |

Prof. Kenneth Holmqvist
|
| The Humanities Laboratory at Lund University. Sweden
|
| Professor |
| I have been working with eye-tracking
since 1995 in a variety of applications, streching from
face-to-face interaction over reading to air traffic control
and image compression, just to mention a few. In 2006,
I co-founded the Humanities Laboratory, a research infra-structure
for infrastructure for advanced students and researchers,
where they can run projects in a high-technological environment
with support from a permanent staff. In March 2009, around
25 financed research projects use this facility.My main
interest is measurement techniques for studying cognitive
processes. I have worked with eye-tracking measurements
for fifteen years, is now also working with ERP, GSR and
motion tracking in various combinations. I am the main
advisor of two current Ph.D. students and of three finished
Ph.Ds, plus secondary advisor of three more graduate students. |

based colour calibration solutions. The company was
setup in 2007 and has since received venture capital
funding and separate funding for prototype development.
Dr Karatzas is currently the primary investigator on
two research projects. He was the Publications chair
of ICDAR 2009 and has served on the programme committees
of ICDAR, DAS, PRIS and CVCRD. Dr Karatzas has been
a founding member and a member of the executive committee
of the UK Chapter of the SPIE, while he is currently

Dr. Paul C. Knox |
| Directorate of Orthoptics and Vision
Science, University of Liverpool, UK. |
| Reader in Vision Science |
| Paul Knox is a Physiology graduate
from the University of Glasgow, where he also completed
his PhD in Neurobiology. Early work involved single unit
recording from the visuomotor systems model animal systems.
However the main focus of his research over the last twelve
years has been human oculomotor control. He has published
work on both smooth pursuit and saccades, examined the
development of, and effect of ageing on, eye movement
behaviour, and investigated the impact of a number of
diseases on the control of eye movement (eg Schizophrenia).
Current work includes the use of concurrent fMRI and eye
tracking to study oculomotor initiation (part of an international
collaboration with colleagues in China) and investigations
of the effects of visual illusions on saccades.

the logic behind visual illusions, and how all this matters
for our understanding of the biological meaning of art. |
