The Connection Between Eye Movements And Personality
A new study from the University of South Australia suggests that artificial intelligence might be able to accurately predict someone's personality simply by tracking their eyes.
More specifically, what researchers have done is they've used machine-learning algorithms to try and establish a connection between eye movements and personality.
For their study, they involved only 42 participants and they studied their eye movements as those participants went about their day on a university campus. They also utilized user questionnaires as a part of their investigation.
The researchers assert that machine learning has been successful in being able to accurately deduce specific and important personality traits. They concluded that this effectively demonstrates a significant link between our innate and learned characteristics and our 'eye emotions'.
In the future, this knowledge might be put to use in an effort to try and make robots more natural and human-like, researchers have suggested. This work might enable them to become more socially aware and more able to respond to and be able to recognize non-verbal cues.
These findings might also prove valuable to those working in the field of virtual reality, as the discovery has the potential to drastically improve those virtual experiences. As well, companies might also be able to utilize this data to develop new levels of personalization, content, and more.
A great deal of research has been conducted on studying eye movements and how they relate to anything and everything from telling lies to personality traits, spotting possible heath problems, and more.
Eye tracking is arguably able to demonstrate mental strain, physical attraction, and emotional engagement. It might even be able to predict someone's actions before they even carry them out. However, widespread facial and eye tracking might not be something that the public is going to eagerly embrace. Though we do see that they have already accepted increasing forms of biometric identification and surveillance over the years.

Also sometimes just by looking at someone’s eyes you can see pain of joy, the eyes always tell the truth
People have been reading other people by look at their eyes since the dawn of human kind. The important fact is that some are better at it than others. Then there those who are exceptional at it. They have used their skills of reading people through their eyes to advance their respective causes. But they cannot share this kind of knowledge with others because it is too abstract to be taught.
Now if we can create data set that not only big enough to encompass it all, then we can have algorithm that can not only deduce but actually evolve from that point. It's a scary thought.
Too much good Article @doitvoluntarily
"However, widespread facial and eye tracking might not be something that the public is going to eagerly embrace."
lol hahaha clearly you've never met the public. Have you ever read any of the comments on your own articles? Of course the majority of people will eagerly embrace emotion and eye tracking, they're already embracing facial recognition (you express emotions on your face so you only need minor software tweeks to turn facial recognition into emotion reading) just to get through lines at the airport faster and so the government can keep everyone safe from all the explode-y terrorists, sneaky Muslims, dastardly Russians, and all the other boogiemen hiding everywhere that can only be detected by massive data retention and facial recognition that clearly identifies every and only the bad guys and would never be used to track anyone else (certainly not activists, protestors, veterans, or anyone that would dare to question the government).
An electronic prison that will destroy any notion of privacy and freedom is being built around all of us and people are not only welcoming it but practically begging for it in the name of convenience and the illusion of safety. Most people are either unaware or don't seem to care about the massive data collection of every electronic communication you send (email, text, websites, video, etc, which includes all them naughty pictures you send), plus number plate readers (that track everywhere you go by vehicle), the use of digital currency (just tap your card/phone) where every digital transaction can be tracked, and with facial recognition software being installed that can be applied to most CCTV cameras scattered everywhere that can not only track any individual from point A to point Z (if you've got a drivers license or passport you'll be automatically added to the system and if there are cameras you can be tracked from the moment you walk out your front door and everywhere you go until you get back home) but as mentioned above with only minor tweeks you can easily add emotion reading into facial recognition software.
But yay we can get through a line faster.
If someone can get to know my emotions through my eyes I would not be happy at all...that would be like invading into someone's personal life...
Nice topic..
I am grateful to those who did not help me because I have learned to do my own work because of 'not' helping them.
"It might even be able to predict someone's actions before they even carry them out."
Will it act as a lie detector? Or predict political leanings? Or essentially begin to read minds?
Pre-crime!
Get down on your knees and put your hands behind your head. What's that? You haven't committed a crime? Not yet, but you will, cause our algorithm knows you better than you know yourself. Now stop resisting arrest you criminal.
Exactly.
