Visual scan patterns of rhesus monkeys viewing faces
Abstract
Two rhesus monkeys viewed black/white photographic slides depicting rhesus, human, chimpanzee, and schematic faces with direct gazes. Eye-track apparatus was used to assign visual fixations to one of four facial regions: the two eyes, nose, or mouth. Results showed that the eyes of stimulus faces received a disproportionate number of fixations from both observers across all stimulus face types. Stimulus faces depicting rhesus and human facial gestures shifted scan patterns somewhat, but did not disrupt the preoccupation with eyes. When the features of schematic faces were rearranged into non-facelike configurations, fixations directed to schematic stimuli were typically reduced in number.

Monkeys Q, Z, and G spent 39.1%, 26.8%, and 17.2% of time fixating the eyes of movie monkeys, even though the eyes occupied only 2.6% of the video frames.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
