What is the benefit of biometric data?  This video demonstrates how biometric data, such as visual attention (fixation points, circles in the video) and emotional feeling measures, can be used to understand the cognitive and affective processes behind financial decisions.  In this asset market study, participants select an asset, and the market subsequently reveals its return.  In this particular example, the decision-maker experiences a loss and exhibits sadness.  High pupil size indicates a high level of attention. My lab utilized Tobii Pro Fusion eye-tracking, iMotions, and Affdex facial expression analysis software to obtain these attention and mood measurements.  Read the paper here!
