Toward an Objective Assessment of Surgical Outcomes and Facial and Body Deformity Using Eyetracking Technology

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to explore the visual markers that lead to differential perception of patients before and after plastic surgery procedures. By examining the early stages of visual processing that occur when an observer encounters images of affected individuals, we may reveal the focus and time-course of impression formation, and possibly help surgeons and their patients pinpoint the facial features that are most salient to viewers.
