Fig. 2: Representative scan path of a schizophrenia patient (left) and control subject (right) to the same context (C1) photograph. Note: These images represent plots of raw, or unprocessed, gaze position data that reflect a visual scan path. The scan path of the schizophrenia patient is intended to illustrate increased attention to the target face stimulus, with little visual attention directed to the social context, in contrast to the control subject's eye-fixation distribution that is extended to facilitate context processing. The upward eye movements of this particular schizophrenia patient reflect voluntary and repeated attention directed to nonsignificant parts of the stimulus (including off-screen gazes); these may not be undertaken by all schizophrenia patients and do not represent blink artifacts.
