Eye Movements Reveal Decision-Making聽

蜜桃传媒破解版下载 research into 鈥渟accades,鈥 a rapid eye movement from one fixation point to another, has revealed that an individual鈥檚 decision-making can be revealed in their eyes. The eye movements are nearly completely involuntary and are faster than a blink, but 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 scientists found that when given a choice between two options, subjects tended to move their eyes faster when they looked toward the option they wound up selecting 鈥 and the more vigorous the eye movement, the more they preferred their choice. The scientists believe that more studies into saccades 鈥 particularly when they are slowed 鈥 could help doctors screen patients for illnesses including Parkinson鈥檚 Disease or depression.聽聽

In Politics, Does Age Matter?聽

Research out of 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 political science department found that age is not necessarily a factor when gaining support from voters. The study determined that voters seem to be just as willing to vote for older candidates for office as they are younger politicians. At the same time, young voters more often disapprove of the job that older politicians are doing. The reason may be that voters are more concerned with their political party winning a race than focusing on the candidates themselves, speculated lead study author and PhD candidate Damon Roberts (MPolSci鈥21; PhD鈥25).聽
