    Genetic Influence on Eye Movements to Complex Scenes at Short Timescales by Kennedy, D., D'Onofrio, B., Quinn, P., Bölte, Sven, Lichtenstein, P., Falck-Ytter, T.

    Published 2017
    “…However, whether genetic factors influence gaze to complex visual scenes more broadly, impacting how both social and non-social scene content are fixated, as well as general visual exploration strategies, has yet to be determined. Using a behavioral genetic approach and eye tracking data from a large sample of 11-year-old human twins (233 same-sex twin pairs; 51% monozygotic, 49% dizygotic), we demonstrate that genetic factors do indeed contribute strongly to eye movement patterns, influencing both one's general tendency for visual exploration of scene content, as well as the precise moment-to-moment spatiotemporal pattern of fixations during viewing of complex social and non-social scenes alike. …”
