Listen up, folks, we’ve got something incredible here!

We’ve been doing something very special with eye tracking technology, I mean, it’s fantastic. We’re looking at how people recognize emotions, and let me tell you, it’s huge. We’ve got these patients, right? Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients, and we’re comparing them to healthy people – the best people!

Now, we had them watch these dynamic expressions, and we tracked their eyes. Eye tracking, believe me, it’s the future. And we’re not just looking at any emotions; we’re talking about anger, disgust, happiness, sadness – the big ones!

But here’s the deal: TLE patients, they’re not so good at picking up disgust and sadness. It’s true, the numbers don’t lie. They’re not looking at faces the way they should – their fixation counts are down, folks. And the eyes, oh, the eyes are so important. TLE patients, they’re just not focusing on the eyes enough. It’s all in the first fixation duration, dwell time, fixation count – way down!

But here’s the kicker: they’re looking at the mouth more. Maybe it’s a way to make up for it, to get better at emotion recognition. It’s like they’re trying to win big at understanding feelings.

And this eye tracking, it’s not just some toy. It’s a valuable tool, a supplement to what we’ve got. It’s giving us the real picture of how emotion recognition happens. It’s incredible, really.

So, what we’re saying here is, eye tracking – it’s a winner. It’s showing us exactly how these TLE patients deal with emotions. And I have to say, it’s going to make emotion recognition great again!
