Eye Movement Patterns

I notice eye movement in movies darting back and forth no idea if this is normal or acting. More with women especially in romantic scenes. Do women really do this?
I am an NT. I haven't seen any sane person with the eyes in constant motion. I had a part-time job as an orderly (male nurse aid) during my first 2 years in collage. People with dementia sometimes exhibit this type of eye movement in the moments of distress. As for the movies, I don't pay attention to actors' eye motions, so I cannot tell why a movie director would instruct performers to act in an unnatural way.
 
I noticed this years ago close up scenes of female actors scanning the romantics partners face. Sure the director wanted this scene. Whether this is natural or acted I have no idea as being on the spectrum, never look actual people in the eye, however do notice stuff in movies and real life, sort of can see the trees and forest, concurrently.
 
Why Autistic Children View Faces Differently - Neuroscience News

The writers of this article seem to think that the reason for the exploratory gaze pattern of autistic people is due to some social skills comprehension deficits. Personally, I need the exploratory gaze pattern so I can assemble the visual data. If I just automatically focus on eyes only how can I even recognize someone. I may not even be able to tell you what color their hair was if I was just focused in on their eyes exclusively. I think this difference may be more of a visual difference rather than a cognitive one. Maybe neurotypicals have a broader vision field. I know that my Mama and I did a few test together of what we could see when looking at an object and she could always see a wider visual field than I could. I think that perhaps some degree of simultanagnosia may be very common among autistic people. I included a link to a description of simultanagnosia below.

Articles like this one make me cringe because they do not present detailed descriptions of the experiments and subsequent analysis of statistical data. I know what Markov chains are, but I have no idea how Markov’s theory was used in this research. The name itself, “Markov chain” tells me nothing.

Currently I work as a data analyst, so I have a pretty good idea how analyze empirical data. It appears that the article was published in a journal that is not peer- reviewed, which is a no-no for me.

I’m an NT, so I don’t have a personal stake in the article. I just don’t like a fishy research and so-called scientists who do it.

I put a lot of data on this forum under my covid thread, would love to have data analyst check in over saw some interesting pattens. I just applied basic statistical analysis it.

I would love to see articles about the pandemic. I have analyzed the clinical trails COVID vaccine data that Pfizer and Moderna submitted to the FDA in effort to get their vaccines approved by the agency. I'm new to this website, so it would be hard for me to find your thread on my own. A link to it would be very helpful.
 
Covid thread, under obsessions and interests, two years of covid data from Ontario, government for province, city of Toronto, plus two similar sized regions. In PDF of excel. I expect you will find very useful, and interesting. I am trained as a quality engineer. Put together an automated spread sheet together years ago. added on data point per day over the course of the pandemic. Did a bit of my own interpretation of the data fascinating, results. Very eye opening.
To tell the truth I've been waiting for some body with your skill set to see this data. Do not like just sitting on it.
 
A synopsis of two years of data at 5 sigma is three days around new years eve 2021. Multiple waves each normally distributed, I expect it will take you a while to go through the thread. I collected data one day at a time, with occasional data dumps and analysis on this site. Even predicted when it would go endemic. Vaccines worked.
not every one required one. Specific to who gets infected.

My first thought is they are reading cue cards, or other director prompts. Some actors are innately made for it, can improvise the scene better than the director intended. Others it’s a lot more difficult.

As far as seeing people, I would be horrible at IDing someone from a crime scene. I get faces mixed up that I see on TV. I wouldn’t know a famous person if they approached me on the street. People I’ve associated with for decades I couldn’t even tell you their eye color. However I can pick someone out by their walk or stance, even if it’s far away and I can’t see them clearly.
 
I also recognize peoples walking style. Women in old movies appear to be scanning the mans face in love scenes always wondered if this was acting, or natural.
