Pupillary manifolds: uncovering the latent geometrical structures behind phasic changes in pupil size by Elvio Blini, Roberto Arrighi, Giovanni Anobile

“…Here we show that phasic changes in pupil size are inherently low-dimensional, with modes that are highly consistent across behavioral tasks of very different nature, suggesting that these changes occur along pupillary manifolds that are highly constrained by the underlying physiological structures rather than functions. These results provide not only a unified approach to analyze pupillary data, but also the opportunity for physiology and psychology to refer to the same processes by tracing the sources of the reported changes in pupil size in the underlying biology.…”
