Pre-conference workshop

On 6 May 2026, a pre-conference workshop will be organised on “Eye tracking as a tool in psycholinguistic approaches to T&I process research”. The workshop will be hosted by Ena Hodzik (University of Mons) and Rhona Amos (University of Geneva) and is open to both early-career researchers and senior colleagues. Participants can sign up for either the pre-conference workshop or the conference, or for both.

The workshop aims to introduce the different ways in which eye tracking can be used for research purposes, examining the questions to be asked when (i) designing the experiment and collecting the data with Experiment Builder; and (ii) processing the data and analysing the results in DataViewer and R Studio. The workshop will cover the physiological, methodological and technical foundations of eye tracking. Particular attention will be paid to the paradigms most frequently used in translation and interpreting process studies, including the visual world paradigm (in simultaneous conference interpreting) and reading tasks (for written or sight translation). The workshop will feature concrete examples and laboratory exercises with an EyeLink Portable Duo eye tracker.
