About MPI

 

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics is an institute of the German Max Planck Society. Our mission is to undertake basic research into the psychological,social and biological foundations of language. The goal is to understand how our minds and brains process language, how language interacts with other aspects of mind, and how we can learn languages of quite different types.

The institute is situated on the campus of the Radboud University. We participate in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and have particularly close ties to that institute's Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging. We also participate in the Centre for Language Studies. A joint graduate school, the IMPRS in Language Sciences, links the Donders Institute, the CLS and the MPI.

 

Eyetracking

Participants are expected to take part in different tasks while their eye movements are monitored. For example, in one of the typical tasks, participants may be asked to click with the computer mouse on one of the objects presented on a display on a computer monitor in front of them or to move the object onto another object. Because the eye-tracker searches for the pupil as the darkest point in the picture it takes, we kindly ask participants to remove mascara, which otherwise fools the eye tracker into believing that the eyelashes are the pupil.
