Autonomic mimicry in human social interactions is significant, a new study reports. Researchers found in computer facial simulations where the pupils were dilated, test subjects trusted the simulated face more and mimicked the pupillary response.
Adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a precursor to Alzheimer's disease, have greater pupil dilation when taking cognitive tests than their cognitively normal peers. Task-evoked pupillary response may be a cost-effective, and low invasive screening test for those at genetic risk for Alzheimer's before the symptoms of the disease take hold.

Tracking eye movement and pupil dilation in those with level 3 Autism helped assess true language abilities.
A new study reveals a person's pupil dilation may give hints as to their risk of developing depression following a natural disaster.
Researchers report that during times of shared attention, pupil dilation patterns synchronize.
Pupil dilation is at its largest when people are most uncertain about their situation, a new study reports.
Researchers report pupil dilation in reaction to negative facial expressions could predict a risk for relapse in those with depression.
According to a new study, how much a child's pupils dilate in response to seeing an emotional image can predict their risk of developing depression over the next two years.
Researchers used a specialized infrared lens to measure pupillary changes to participants watching erotic videos. Pupils widened most to videos of people who participants found attractive, thereby revealing where they were on the sexual spectrum from heterosexual to homosexual.
