We assume that idiosyncratic (i.e., unique and specific) eye movement patterns can be indicative of experience and cognitive control, so we will use machine learning methods to detect anomalies in these patterns. In a series of experiments, we will test this approach in a variety of contexts, such as facial recognition, crowdsourcing tasks and recruitment, to see if unusual gaze patterns can indicate the quality of decision-making.Work Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute SWPS University Country Poland GeofieldContact State/ProvinceWarszawa CityWarszawa WebsiteStreetChodakowska, 19/31 Postal Code03-815 E-Mailekurylo@swps.edu.plSTATUS: EXPIREDShare this page
