Individual project
INDIVISUAL - Individual differences in human gaze behaviour and the visual system
Funder: European Research Council
Period: 2020-2024

Abstract:
Taking a closer look at the human gaze
Seeing means looking. Every second we move our eyes to focus different objects in our surroundings. How the visual brain manages to select the most relevant objects for scrutiny is largely unknown. Recent findings show that this process is highly individual. For instance, some observers look at faces twice as much as others, and such differences in gaze behaviour are reliable across images and time. The EU-funded project INDIVISUAL aims to understand the causes of these differences in the individual brain and their consequences for perception. Additionally, the project aims to test the diagnostic potential of individual gaze behaviour in health and disease. More information at www.individual-perception.com
