Faces vs Objects Eye-tracking Data

This study used posed and naturalistic faces of pain and neutrality to examine whether posed and naturalistic stimuli differ in their ability to capture attention. Posed stimuli were carefully curated and had no backgrounds. Naturalistic stimuli had backgrounds and very minimal editing was done, meaning they varied in terms of camera angles and image quality. These faces were paired with similarly edited objects in a dual-saccadic choice task. The excel file here contains the time until participants initiated a saccade towards one of the two presented stimuli, measured in milliseconds. The data is laid out according to the three main variables of interest - the target type (objects or faces), the stimulus type (posed or naturalistic), and the expression type (pain or neutral).
