    • Characterizing Visual Attention during Driving and Non-driving Hazard Perception Tasks 

      MacKenzie, Andrew Kerr; Harris, Julie (ACM siggraph, 2014-03-26) - Conference item
      Research into driving skill, particularly of hazard perception, often involves studies where participants either view pictures of driving scenarios or use movie viewing paradigms. However oculomotor strategies tend to ...

    • Behavioral observation of xenopus tadpole swimming for neuroscience labs 

      Li, Wenchang; Wagner, Monica Anne; Porter, Nicola Jean (2014) - Journal article
      Neuroscience labs benefit from reliable, easily - monitored neural responses mediated by well - studied neural pathways . Xenopus laevis tadpoles have been used as a simple vertebrate model preparation in motor control ...
