Mission Statement
The goal of EMRA is to support the development of eye movements based research. This includes all aspects of basic and applied eye movement research, through focus periods and selected projects with broad benefit to the community. EMRA activities are undertaken and shaped by members voluntarily, as a non profit independent association.
The following core activities are planned for our first two years:
-
Developing international standards related to eye tracking - beginning with the Eye Data Quality Standard, in collaboration with COGAIN.
-
Hosting and maintaining open access archives of ECEM conference abstracts and proceedings, websites and other material.
