An eye-catching new study shows just how different the experience of walking home at night is for women versus men.
The study, led by Brigham Young University public health professor Robbie Chaney, provides clear visual evidence of the constant environmental scanning women conduct as they walk in the dark, a safety consideration the study shows is unique to their experience.
Yeah there are some great eye movement tracking studies for people watching scenes from films, they should have made this more like that.
Hey you’re that cockroach-milk dude(tte)!
Would also have been great if they included visual stimuli with daylight scenes as controls.
@ohitsbreadley omg cockroach milk, not what I want to be known for lol!
Daylight scenes would be good. I guess given enough funding we would want to control with “safe” environments too eg subject’s own home.
The eye movement/film studies were fascinating because there’s a ton of theory in film (and art/photography) about where the viewer looks and what the eye is drawn to. And of course the movement studies debunked it.
