Okulomotor activity at the perception of dynamic and static expressions of the face

A comparison of the parameters of oculomotor activity in the perception of static and dynamic images of the face was made. It is shown that in both static and dynamic conditions, the trajectory of eye movement is determined by the internal structure of the face of the and the functional connections of the facial areas of his face. Differences were found at the level of individual parameters of oculomotor activity: the duration of examination of the face zones, the duration of fixation and the amplitude of saccades. Routes for reviewing static images are fully cyclic in nature. Recurrent fixations in the same zone of interest are poorly expressed, and their contribution to the overall structure of movements is negligible. When perceiving dynamic images, the survey routes have a degenerate, partially reduced character, determined by the current dynamics of facial expressions; the contribution of repeated fixations in the same zone of interest increases.
