Be sure to head over and read about their findings, but essentially the son suggested using the monster manual and its many unusual and varied fauna with varied eye and "face" configurations, helped his dad set up a head mounted rig to track eye moment, and then helped with the collection and coding of the data. Turns out we tend to look for the "center" of an object when a face isn't readily perceived then search out "eyes" wherever they may be.
Hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for stopping by!
