The biggest international conference on eye movements is meeting at the University of Dundee this week discussing a range of subjects on eye movement including the time lag between eye and voice when a singer is reading both text and music.

Nick Wade from the University of Dundee will welcome delegates to the conference today and give the first plenary session on "The moving eye of the tablet." Nick will give a brief history of how people have studied eye movements down the centuries.

Over 3 days, delegates from all over the world will discuss psychological, clinical and literal issues on eye movement.
