We are a network of multidisciplinary researchers funded by COST
(https://www.cost.eu/) for conducting several types of networking
activities within the MultiplEYE project: Enabling multilingual
eye-tracking data collection for human and machine language processing
research. The goal is to support the development of a large
multilingual eye tracking corpus and enable researchers to collect
data by sharing infrastructure and their knowledge between various
fields, including linguistics, psychology, and computer science. This
data collection can then be used to study human language processing
from a psycholinguistic perspective as well as to improve and evaluate
computational language processing from a machine learning perspective.
For more details on MultiplEYE project visit www.multipleye.eu

There are several labs in MultiplEYE network that have already
prepared the reading experiment in their language but cannot
participate in data collection and study reading behaviour in their
language, due to the lack of an eye-tracker.

We started a fundraising campaign to acquire a portable PupilLabs
eye-tracking device (model: Neon) and lend this device to research
labs in countries where no equipment is available. The crowd-funding
will also cover the shipping costs.

Check out our fundraising project here:

You can help us by DONATING or by acting as an ambassador of this
campaign.

The crowdfunding remains open until 27 September 2024.
Your support is very much appreciated.
