Eye-tracking test for social understanding in children and adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses an eye-tracking tool (it measures where and how your eyes move) to assess how people process social information. It aims to build a standard way to evaluate social processing in children and in comparison groups without these diagnoses.
