A newly designed "seeing eye mask" can capture pulse, eye movements, and sleep signals. Read More
A new study reveals the relationship between attentional state and emotions from pupillary reactions. Visual perception elicits emotions in all attentional state, while auditory perception elicits emotions only when attention is paid to sounds. Read More
Using scenes from movies, researchers discover how different brain areas can be used flexibly and as needed. The study sheds light on how the brain transitions between moral thinking and empathy. Read More
New eye-tracking technology monitors naturalistic eye movements in mice and discovers similarities and differences with human eye movement. Read More
Eye movements distinguish between "go" and "no go" actions early in the decision-making process, before the hand even starts to move. Read More
Study reveals two different brain structures are implicated in implicit and explicit theory of mind, and both regions mature at different ages to fulfill their function. The supramarginal gyrus matures earlier, enabling theory of mind to occur slightly earlier than believed. Full ability for theory of mind occurs at age four when the temporoparietal junction matures.

Eye-tracking and pupil dilation may be a new way to measure a person's hearing ability. Read More
A newly developed eye movement measurement test sheds light on inhibitory control and brain aging. Read More
The human brain can recognize a familiar tune within 100 milliseconds of the onset of sound. Read More
Tracking gaze patterns in children as they watch videos of social interactions is an accurate way to detect almost 50% of autism cases, a new study reports. Read More
The initial reaction of the brain is independent of the facial emotional expression we see. It is only after the eye movement is completed that the brain shows strong responses to the emotional expression of a face. Read More
A new study questions the theory that adolescents on the autism spectrum have trouble identifying different emotions expressed on the faces of others. The findings revealed adolescents with ASD have similar accuracy, response times, and fixation on facial features as their neurotypical peers when asked to infer mental states from faces. Read More
