Programme of the 21st European Conference on Eye Movements

About ECEM ECEM was initiated by Rudolf Groner (Bern), Dieter Heller (Bayreuth at the time) and Henk Breimer (Tilburg) in the 198 to provide a forum for an interdisciplinary group of scientists interested in eye movements. Since the inaugural meeting in Bern, the conference has been held every two years in different venues across Europe until 2021, when it was planned to take place in Leicester but was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic. It was decided to hold the meeting in Leicester in August 2022 instead, and as an in person meeting rather than an online or hybrid event. Incidentally, the present meeting is the third time the conference has come to the English East Midlands, now in Leicester following previous meetings in the neighbouring cities of Derby and Nottingham.

(Re)conceptualizing Neoliberal Health Discourses as Constitutive Relationships

Over the last several decades, a neoliberal shift in medical practice from institutional treatment to self-care and prevention has moved many engagements with medical authority figures out of the clinic and into society more broadly. In this context, medical authority has become more complex and difficult to locate as Western medical knowledges and practices have dispersed and intermingled with a range of other health informations and forms of healthcare. As a result, this dissertation uses a constitutive rhetorical approach to locate and examine contemporary forms of medical authority by interrogating the relationship between health subjects and medical authority in neoliberal health discourses. Rather than treat health discourses as fixed asymmetrical texts by which health subjects are either disciplined or empowered, I argue that analyzing these discourses as constitutive relationships by interrogating how health subjects and various forms of medical authority interact with and constitute each other through these texts reveals a more nuanced understanding of how both authority and subjectivity are negotiated and sustained in these contemporary neoliberal sites of engagement. The three case studies in this dissertation explore diverse ways health subjectivity and medical authority are interactively constituted through various health discourses. In analyzing American Girl’s The Care & Keeping of You advice books, the daytime talk show The Dr. Oz Show, and user engagement with Fitbit activity trackers as constitutive relationships, this dissertation illustrates the emergence of a complex understanding of the relationship between subjectivity and authority. I suggest that a relational approach allows us to move beyond analyzing how health subjects are constituted as they align themselves with health discourses, to examine how health subjects also participate in constituting medical authority as they engage in various forms of interaction. Indeed, reconceptualizing how medical authority emerges from and participates in various interactions with health subjects both expands our understanding of neoliberal health discourses as well as develops a more nuanced approach to critiquing health subject’s sustained engagement with these increasingly ubiquitous texts

Sprout: Using a Garden Metaphor to Visualize and Support Customizable and Collaborative Health Tracking

Self-tracking tools have become increasingly popular, especially with the advent of wearable technology and smartphone applications. However, traditional tracking tools often display data in a quantitative format that can be overwhelming and cause users to abandon their tracking efforts. Additionally, these tools typically provide a generic user experience and are designed from a single-user perspective, lacking external support. To overcome these limitations, we develop Sprout, a mobile data-tracking application that offers a more qualitative, customizable, and collaborative experience for health monitoring and management. Sprout uses a garden metaphor to visually represent health information and allows users to tailor their data experience by customizing data capture types and corresponding visual representation for each element. Furthermore, users in Sprout can collaborate to achieve community goals, unlocking new features for their gardens. We conduct a user study with 22 participants to investigate the impact of qualitative data visualization, customizability, and social support on users\u27 activity levels, goal attainment, engagement, and satisfaction with the self-tracking system. Our results suggest that qualitative visualization of data can help some users maintain their motivation to meet health-related goals, but a mix of quantitative and qualitative data is desired by some users. Customizability requires tailored features to help users develop a sense of ownership over time, and social features are a crucial motivator for users to achieve their health goals. However, tracking with strangers instead of friends can hinder user engagement due to the lack of connection

NASA/OAI Collaborative Aerospace Internship and Fellowship Program

The NASA/OAI Collaborative Aerospace Internship and Fellowship Program is a collaborative undertaking by the Office of Educational Programs at the NASA Lewis Research Center and the Department of Workforce Enhancement at the Ohio Aerospace Institute. This program provides 12 or 14 week internships for undergraduate and graduate students of science and engineering, and for secondary school teachers. Each item is assigned a NASA mentor who facilitates a research assignment. An important aspect of the program is that it includes students with diverse social, cultural and economic backgrounds. The purpose of this report is to document the program accomplishments for 1996
