Wanted:  Experimental participants for studies of eye movements and visual perception:

Our laboratory is studying how the eye moves when people do everyday life tasks, such as reading, looking at pictures or searching for a target in a crowded visual scene.  Our goals are to understand eye movement planning and also to find out whether some eye movement patterns produce better task performance than others.  We are looking for people who can be available for studies that require multiple visits to the lab, about 2-4 hours per week during the semester.

PAYMENT is $15 per hour.

Normal vision is required (no glasses or soft contact lenses).

The laboratory is located in the Psychology building, Busch campus.
