Title:  Correlation Between Color Reproduction Preferences and Eye Movements using a
                                                 Head Mounted Eye Tracker

Researcher:  Lisa A. Markel

Brief Description:

     The following experiment requires that you sit in front of an illuminated viewing booth and view photographic prints.  You will be asked to make overall image quality judgments.  The purpose of this test is to determine the correlation of eye movement patterns and color reproduction preferences given certain scenes.

     To begin the test, you will be asked a few questions and to look at Ishaharra plaques to determine if you have any color deficiencies.  You will then be fitted with the eye tracker and calibrated to the equipment.  You will remain in the eye Tracker for approximately 1 hour while viewing prints.  The prints will be a series of image pairs and you will be asked some questions on image preference.

     With prolong use of the head Tracker, the headband may become uncomfortable and result in a head ache.
