Scanning faces: a deep learning approach to studying eye movements in prosopagnosia

Only a few fixations during face scanning are required to differentiate controls from acquired prosopagnosia, with the latter showing anomalous biases. Developmental prosopagnosic scanpaths resemble degraded control scanpaths rather than anomalous biases. This study shows the potential of deep learning to identify abnormal behavioral markers in a disorder of complex visual processing.

Abstract

Only a few fixations during face scanning are required to differentiate controls from acquired prosopagnosia, with the latter showing anomalous biases. Developmental prosopagnosic scanpaths resemble degraded control scanpaths rather than anomalous biases. This study shows the potential of deep learning to identify abnormal behavioral markers in a disorder of complex visual processing.
