We are pleased to announce that from April 9 to 13, Prof. Bernhard Angele will hold a course about eye tracking, each morning from 10 am to 12. The course will be about how an eye tracker works, setting up an experiment for data collection, data cleaning and aggregation, and data analysis and reporting. A more detailed syllabus will be posted soon on our website. 

All the SISSA PhD students (especially those in the first year) and Trento master students are strongly encouraged to attend. 

In this course we go together over a set of human cognition data, trying to extract reliable inferences from it. If it sounds very general, that's exactly it—you can think of this course as a series of hands-on meetings on what is our everyday task as scientists, that is, transforming experimental data into solid science (which is somewhat correlated to have a publishable paper, or a solid chance to get your PhD ;-)).

The aim of this course is to help improve one’s scientific writing, oral and poster presentations by introducing rules of style to communicate in a concise, clear and convincing way and rules for effective slide and poster preparation and speech delivery.
