Measuring sensitivity to eye gaze cues in naturalistic scenes: Presenting the eye gaze FoCuS database.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The ability to process information about eye gaze and its use for nonverbal communication is foundational to human social interactions. We developed and validated a database of stimuli that are optimized to investigate the perception and referential understanding of shifts in eye gaze.

Methods

The 245 Gaze Perception stimuli are digital photographs that test the ability to estimate and interpret eye gaze trajectory.
