 * Eye Movement reveals difference between love and lust**

I chose this particular topic because you can tell a little bit about a person by looking into their eyes and reading their body language. A recent study was conducted between the difference in love and lust in the eyes. It was found that eye patterns concentrate on the stranger’s face if the viewer sees that person as a potential partner in romantic love, but the viewer gazes more at the person’s body if he or she is looking for lust over love. This judgment can occur within half a second of gazing patterns. Previous research by Cacioppo was shown that different networks of the brain regions are activated by love or lust. The team performed two experiments to test visual patterns in an effort to assess to different emotional and cognitive states. John Cacioppo said “By identifying eye patterns that are specific to love-related stimuli, the study may contribute to the development of a marker that differentiates feelings of romantic love verses sexual desire.” In Psychology class we went over Sensation and Perception (Chapter 3) which explains the five senses. It also explains how vision and part of the brain which is devoted to visual processing.
