Eye movement parameters can be highly informative regarding how people explore the social environment around them. This theoretical review examines how human faces and their features (e.g., eye-gaze direction, emotional expressions) can modulate saccadic trajectories. In the first part, studies in which facial stimuli were presented in a central location, such as during a face-to-face social interaction, are illustrated. The second part focuses on studies in which facial stimuli were placed in the periphery. Together, these works confirm the presence of an intriguing link between eye movements and facial processing, and invite consideration of saccadic trajectories as a useful (and still underused) opportunity to track ongoing mechanisms that support the social vision. Some directions for future research are also discussed.
眼动参数对于人们如何探索周围的社会环境具有重要的指示作用。本理论综述考察了人脸及其特征（例如，注视方向、情绪表达）如何调节眼跳轨迹。在第一部分中，阐述了在中央位置呈现面部刺激的研究，例如在面对面的社交互动中。第二部分侧重于在周边位置呈现面部刺激的研究。这些研究共同证实了眼动和面部处理之间存在有趣的联系，并邀请人们考虑眼跳轨迹作为一种有用（且仍未被充分利用）的机会，以追踪支持社交视觉的持续机制。还讨论了一些未来研究的方向。
