The new generation of speech generating devices offers several improvements based on customer feedback and technological advances that build on the success of its C-Series. Tobii Technology, which has led the charge for eye tracking and gaze interaction technology for individuals that are nonverbal and with limited ability to physically interact, announced that its new Tobii I-Series is now available. Opening up the world of communication for a nonverbal child or adult can be a challenge, but today, technology continues to amaze. Eye tracking is also used to create actions, such as the ones used to operate a wheelchair without the use of limbs. The technology provides a voice to people that previously had little way to express his or her thoughts. The cross-linguistic perspective, especially accompanied with empirical data on languages other than English is particularly welcome.Tobii I-Series Eye Tracking Communication Device Opens World of Communication for Non-Verbal IndividualsĮye tracking, a fairly new technology, makes use of the iris to give commands to a computer system that in turn speaks for the user. socio-economic status in the acquisition of reading or relating the eye-tracking measures to other cognitive functions such as memory or attention. Studies addressing individual differences are welcome for methodological reasons, as well as for their relevance for reading studies in general. experimental manipulations of stimuli, eye-tracking vs. The articles discussing methodological questions such as reading in natural settings vs. Timing of psycholinguistic processes, as reflected in early and late eye-tracking measures is of great interest. This includes studies tackling issues relevant for psycholinguistic models of language processing, as well as bilingual or multilingual processing. This Research Topic invites original research articles, review and systematic literature review articles, methods articles or theoretical accounts on eye-tracking research of reading. Finally, one expects that the reading corpora would allow for more comprehensive study of the individual differences among readers, an issue that has recently attracted considerable attention in eye-tracking research. self-paced reading) reflect many issues in contemporary psycholinguistic modeling of language comprehension such as the interpretation of the processes captured by some dependent variable obtained by eye-tracking or discussion about the arguments corroborating or refuting a particular psycholinguistic model. experimental data) and between eye-tracking and similar methods (e.g. In addition, methodological considerations within the eye-tracking research (e.g. It is the aim of this Research Topics to provide a platform for a discussion on this development in several directions: (1) the theoretical implications of large eye-tracking reading data in psycholinguistics (2) opportunities for comparative (cross-linguistic) and bilingual (multilingual) studies of psycholinguistic phenomena relevant for formulation or evaluation of psycholinguistic or computational models of language comprehension, and, related (3) the inclusion of languages other than English in order to alleviate the English language bias in psycholinguistic research. The creation of reading corpora allows for new directions in psycholinguistics research. Finally, collecting such corpora in various languages facilitates cross-linguistic studies of psycholinguistic phenomena, bilingual or multilingual studies or research into individual differences among readers. The large amount of the corpus data allows for new analytical techniques thus bringing about new insights into psycholinguistic accounts of reading and, more generally, in psycholinguistic and computational linguistics modeling of language comprehension. Typically, these texts are tagged with fixation and saccades data and some linguistic or psycholinguistic parameters. based on texts not experimentally manipulated as stimuli in minimal pairs. In recent years it has been increasingly employed for reading studies based on collecting and analyzing reading corpora obtained in a natural setting, i.e. Eye-tracking has established itself as a powerful tool for studying language processing.
