Cambridge Research Systems is very proud to be associated with the Gordon Research Conference on Oculomotor System Biology, at Bates College Lewiston, ME, June 26 - July 1, 2005.

There are many different methods of recording eye movements: Cambridge Research Systems offers a selection of the best innovative technologies for oculomotor research, and other applications. Please see our eyetracker overview, or contact us to discuss your needs.

• High speed video eyetracker for oculomotor research
• Infra-red limbus tracker for oculomotor research
• Fibre optic eyetracker for fMRI
• Non-contact head and gaze tracker
• Gaze analysis for images, video and software

Go to Eyetracker Overview

Our new 250 Hz Fast Video Eyetracker is due to be launched at the 13th European Conference on Eye Movements
14-18 August 2005, Bern, Switzerland.

• Low noise, high fidelity 250Hz Video Eyetracker.
• Far more accurate on diagonals than limbus tracker solutions.
• Ideal for oculomotor research and saccade contingent displays.
• Supports Microsoft Windows XP
• Intelligent, adaptive and extremely robust
• Knowledge based recognition of image features
• Predictive algorithm uses prior measurements
• No operator adjustments of thresholds are required

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Cambridge Research Systems party at the Vision Sciences Society meeting 2005...

... and very special thanks to Hadley Tassinari (NYU) for taking care of the BBQ.

Hadley is pictured here with, from left to right, Lorella Battelli (Harvard), Lara Harb (Brown), Katia Ripamonti (Cambridge).

In between the fun, Cambridge Research Systems also found time to launch three new products at VSS:

NEW! Metropsis precision vision testing from under $7000

NEW! GazeTracker™ with Video Eyetracker

AVAILABLE NOW: BITS++ for Psychophysics Toolbox Mac OS X

Cambridge Research Systems are delighted to be a sponsor of this celebration...

in honour of Professor Neville Drasdo, which will be held on 18th May at Cardiff University School of Optometry and Vision Science.

The occassion will be marked by a symposium of lectures celebrating Professor Drasdo's work and achievements in optometry and vision science, including a keynote lecture by Professor Robert Hess of McGill University, Montreal.

Cambridge Research Systems are especially pleased to support the 2005 meeting of The Children's Eye Group

on 15-16 May 2005 at the Institute of Child Health, London, as this year the meeting is to celebrate the career of Professor David Taylor who retires after more than 30 years at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

David is head the Visual Sciences Unit at the Institute of Child Health as well as Senior Paediatric Ophthalmology Consultant. In addition to his clinical skills he is a researcher and teacher of international repute, however he is probably best known for his book Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus which is probably the definitive text on the subject.

We have worked with David's department on many research projects. We wish him a long and interesting retirement.

We hope to see you at the two big vision science meetings in Florida during May, ARVO (stand 212) and VSS.

In addition to our range of Visual Stimulators and Eye Trackers, we will be launching these new products:

NEW! Metropsis precision vision testing from under $7000

Metropsis brings precise and repeatable measurements of visual function out of the psychophysical laboratory and into more general research applications. Tests include Contrast Sensitivity Function, Cambridge Colour Test and new Macular Pigment Test.

NEW! GazeTracker™ with Video Eyetracker

Our robust, low-cost Video Eyetracker is now integrated with GazeTracker™, from Eye Response Technologies, a powerful software package that consolidates stimulus presentation, information synchronisation, data analysis and visualisation.

AVAILABLE NOW: BITS++ for Psychophysics Toolbox Mac OS X

BITS++ increases the dynamic range of your existing computer graphics system, allowing you to run high resolution colour and contrast experiments. BITS++ is now compatible with the latest Mac OS X version of the popular Psychophysics Toolbox, a free set of MATLAB functions for vision research.

Our Japanese distributor, Namoto, has kindly sent us this picture showing that full bloom has started in the Tsukuba and Tokyo areas.

We hope that our friends and customers in Japan have started to enjoy beer and sake under the blooming trees.

Best wishes from CRS's team for this new Spring and for this new University Year.

The UK Press recently reported on the tragic death of Nichola Coombs, a twelve-year-old schoolgirl who suffered an epileptic fit thought to be brought on by flickering TV images.

Yet her sad death might have been prevented by the HardingFPA, a system designed by Cambridge Research Systems with Professor Graham Harding, and already in use amongst many TV, games and broadcast professionals.

Cambridge Research Systems are pleased to be exhibiting at the TeaP annual meeting at the University of Regensburg on 4th-6th April.

This is just the second time that we've attended TeaP. At last year's conference at Giessen University we met many new people, so we hope that you will visit our display again this year to see Thierry Decoster and find out more about our latest tools for vision science.
