Parsing eye movement analysis of scanpaths of naïve viewers of art: How do we differentiate art from non-art pictures? by Wolfgang H. Zangemeister, Claudio Privitera

Furthermore our study shows that the distinction of art versus non-art has vanished, causing confusion about the ratio of signal and noise in the communication between artists and viewers of art.…”
