Head-mounted eye tracking is a novel technique which can be used to study what infants see in the real world, as they explore their environment and engage in interactions with objects and people. This pre-conference meeting aims to bring together researchers working with head-mounted eye tracking and head cameras in infancy research, as well as researchers interested in learning about the methodology and application of these techniques. The meeting will consist of two sessions. The first session is focused on methods, data analysis, and theory. The second session is focused on the application of this methodology in different developmental domains, such as infant vision, and social, language, and motor development. The meeting is open to researchers working with head-mounted eye tracking and head cameras, as well as researchers who are interested in learning about the methodology and application of these tools.
