The present research
The aim of the present study was to assess whether eye processing is
altered in euthymic bipolar disorder. By means of the Reading the Mind
in the Eyes test and the eye-gaze cueing task, two aspects of eye
processing were assessed: the ability to infer the mental state and
intention of others from the eyes and social attention, respectively. We
hypothesized that euthymic bipolar patients will be characterized by
greater difficulty in the processing of eye-regions of the face than
healthy comparison individuals.
