oculesics

The study of eye contact is sometimes known as oculesics.

According to this science, oculesics can show which type of thinking someone is using when they are communicating.

Oculesics can play a major part in these emotional projection strategies.

Many theorists and studies are associated with nonverbal communication, to include oculesics.

It is important to understand these dynamics, because we often establish relationships (on small and grand scales) with oculesics.

It is also crucial to note that Oculesics is culturally dependent.

Oculesics is a primary form of communicating emotion.

Even within that same culture, oculesics plays a tremendous role in obtaining meaning from other nonverbal cues.

In some countries, doctors use the study of oculesics to test stimulation among patients and interest levels in children who are not as expressive verbally.

There are four aspects involved with oculesics:

Oculesics is not a standalone science.

Oculesics, a subcategory of body language, is the study of eye movement, eye behavior, gaze, and eye-related nonverbal communication.

Oculesics is one form of nonverbal communication, which is the transmission and reception of meaning between communicators without the use of words.

Some theorists say that even with these differences, there can be generally accepted "truths" about oculesics, such as the theory that constant eye contact between two people is physically and mentally uncomfortable.

Most prominently, oculesics play a major role in the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), which is a microexpression database created by Dr. Ekman and his colleagues.

It can also include chronemics (the use of time) and oculesics (eye contact and the actions of looking while talking and listening, frequency of glances, patterns of fixation, pupil dilation, and blink rate).
