Summary

This observational study aims to understand how healthy adults process and respond to visual images, particularly socially relevant ones like faces. Researchers will track eye movements and attention as participants view images on a screen. The study involves healthy volunteers aged 18 and older with normal vision, who will attend several clinic visits over a few months. By measuring eye movement patterns, the study seeks to uncover how certain visual features automatically capture attention.
