Abstract

Rapid technological advancements have led to a significant progress in research methods for cognitive sciences. Today scientists can use various neurophysiological methods to study human behavior and its underlying neuroanatomical and cognitive mechanisms. Among such methods is eye-tracking—a technique allowing recording and analysis of online oculomotor behavior. In this chapter, we first review the use of eye-tracking methodology in cognitive research—both as a stand-alone method and in combination with electroencephalography. We then discuss eye-tracking in terms of its application in language research, from studying sentence comprehension and sentence production, to second language learning and bilingualism. Finally, we discuss co-registration of brain-ocular activity.
