CRS enhance the usability of their eye trackers!

NEW! Easy to integrate eye tracking with binocular capability at 250Hz.

With the help of your feedback, we continually look for new ways to increase the usability of our eye tracking tools.
To enhance the performance and usability of our family of video-based eye trackers, we are working on a new solution that decouples the eye tracking from the stimulus presentation system.

 This new configuration will provide the eye tracking in a completely separate and compact unit, freeing up significant processing resources on the host computer and providing much better compatibility with third-party systems. The eye tracker will stream the eye position information in real-time on USB and network ports, which will make it much simpler to integrate with software tools like ePrime, Presentation or Psychtoolbox, and your own custom software routines on any PC or Mac platform. A binocular tracking facility will also be available; this will allow you to track both eyes at the same time and without compromising the sampling rate.

NEW! Add depth to your study with our mirror haploscope accessory!

In response to a specific request from one of our customers at UCL, we have developed a mirror haploscope for the High Speed Video Eyetracker Toolbox.

The optical arrangement is integrated on the standard CRS chin rest and is designed to work with a single computer monitor in a vertical split-screen configuration. Independent images can be presented to each eye in binocular and stereoscopic experiments while the eye tracker is monitoring fixation or recording eye movement dynamics.

17th July 2007 - New MSc course trains students using CRS tools.

From October 2007, Durham University will be offering a new MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience. A core element of the course that will be of particular interest to the Vision Science community is specialised training in techniques such as display calibration, stimulus generation, response recording and eye-tracking. In partnership with Cambridge Research Systems, Durham will be offering classes in MATLAB programming and the practical application of CRS equipment, like the ViSaGe stimulus generator and Video Eyetracker Toolbox, to research questions in cognitive neuroscience. This practical part of the course will be held in the newly named Robson Cambridge Research Suite!

Students will also have the opportunity to participate in internships at CRS. Steve Elliott from CRS says “we are very excited about this new collaboration with the Department of Psychology. I hope the internships will offer complementary practical experience and will allow the students to put their new technical expertise in the context of a commercial R&D department”.

We are also pleased to announce that Durham plan to offer the practical part of the MSc as an intensive, 1-week residential program open to all graduate students. We hope this will be of particular interest to any of our existing and future customers that plan to use MATLAB in their CRS-equipped lab. Click "tell me more" to find out more about this course.

Durham University have issued the following about the course:

1 year MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience

The department of Psychology in Durham is offering a new MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience starting in October 2007, aimed at UK and International students seeking a career in research or research related disciplines, and those from science backgrounds closely related to psychology who wish to increase their knowledge and practical experience of psychology and cognitive neuroscience before embarking on a career in this area.

The MSc builds on the Department’s considerable strengths in cognitive neuroscience. The MSc will provide students with detailed historical, philosophical, theoretical and practical knowledge of a broad range of cognitive neuroscience techniques. 

A core element of our course that will be of particular interest to the Vision Science community is specialised training in techniques such as display calibration, stimulus generation, response recording and eye-tracking. In partnership with Cambridge Research Systems (CRS) we will be offering classes in Matlab programming and the practical application of CRS equipment to research questions in cognitive neuroscience.

We also plan to offer this part of the course as an intensive 1-week residential program open to graduate students. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in internships at CRS.

17th Jul 2007 - Aston MRI Research Centre - MRI-Live! reference site for the UK.

Long term CRS clients Dr Ian Holliday and Prof. Stephen Anderson of the Aston MRI Research Centre are to be out very first MRI-Live! customers, something that we are very excited about.

With their help, we are able to offer those interested in MRI-Live! the opportunity to see the product in action at the centre. Please contact us if you are interested in MRI-Live! or making a visit to the UK reference site.
