Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Hayhoe is well known internationally for her outstanding research on the role of eye movements in visual perception. By investigating eye movement behavior in fully natural tasks and environments, her work convincingly shows how carefully and deliberately we move our eyes to support our actions, leading to a paradigm change in the study of action and perception. During her stay in Germany, she will work on the control of natural behaviour and eye movements in virtual reality environments.
