| Abstract(in English) | Involuntary microsaccades reflect human brain activities such as spatial attention and cognitive tasks. Whereas affect and emotion are tightly associated with eye movements, the relationship between microsaccades and emotion remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of covert attention induced by unpleasant pictures on directions of microsaccades. The unpleasant pictures significantly inhibited the appearance rate of microsaccades. However, the directions of covert attention in emotional pictures were not consistent with ones of microsaccades. Future approaches for evaluation of eye movements may clarify the pathological mechanism of mental disorders such as anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. |
