In the Fall of 2011 we began an exciting collaboration with the London Science Museum. And the Lotto lab. Supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust. In our eye tracking experiment, people look at videos or still pictures of other people who have visited to the museum. At some point, a picture of themselves appears.
