Regularities of oculomotor activity of Russians and Tuvans in the assessment of perceptual confidence by facial expressions

512

Abstract

We present the results of search for regularities of oculomotor activity in the perception of faces that cause and do not cause confidence in representatives of Russian and Tuvan ethnic groups. Such characteristics of eye movements as the number of fixations and their total duration are ambiguously associated with the structure of the perceived person. It is not possible to identify the unambiguous direction of changes in the parameters of oculomotor activity as dependent on ethnic and racial affiliation of either subjects or posers.
