Outline of Research at the Start

ヒトが画像を見たときに,視線をどのように動かして画像を見ているのかを特殊な装置を使って調べることにより,その人が,画像のどの部分により注意を払って見ているのかを客観的に測定できます。本研究では,食物の画像を精神疾患を持つ患者さんに見ていただき,食物の好き嫌いを判断する際の視覚的注意と,注意を制御する脳の働きについて,健常者との間にどのような違いが見られるのかを調べます。

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

Few investigations have been done taking advantage of eye-tracking to study visual attention among patients with schizophrenia (SZ). Since many psychiatric patients encounter cognitive impairments (Wolf et al., 2021), the aim of this project was to investigate their decision-making processes. Despite the difficult situation due to the COVID-19, we have tested 32 normal participants and 32 patients with SZ. Based on obtained data, visual behavior is tightly linked to decision-making, where viewing time, as well as gaze-related metrics, appear to be a useful index of the extent of information processing. The behavior data analysis has been finalized, whereas the detailed eye-movement data analysis is being carried on. Our published work in Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences has been granted a high appreciation among the scientific audience. The systematic review (Wolf et al., 2020) has been recognized as a “Top Cited Article 2020-2021”. In addition, the publication in Frontiers in Psychology (Wolf and Ueda, 2021) has been presented as an oral contribution during the Conference of the International Society for Psychophysics (Fechner Day 2022). Finally, the Frontiers Research Topic entitled Consumer’s Behavior beyond Self-Report (viewed 46,017 times as of 25th of April 2022) unified influential researchers and the latest key findings in the subfield of neuromarketing, which resulted in publishing an open-access E-Book (DOI: 10.3389/978-2-88971-709-5).
