Decoding human cognitive functions by “implicit” eye movements (12/15)
Abstract
The eyes are the windows to the soul. Our eyes reveal what we think and feel via not only explicit gaze or saccades but also implicit eye movements such as pupillary responses and microsaccades.
In this talk, I will introduce several studies to illustrate how we can infer auditory perception and attention by pupillary responses and microsaccades.
Furthermore, we hypothesize that these implicit eye movements not only simply reflect but also actively participate in certain cognitive processing such as attractiveness formation.
Possible underlying neural mechanisms are discussed.
