How much *understanding* happens in 50 milliseconds? Yet the study
claims that is enough time to impact a viewer.
So perhaps eye tracking may be most valuable in revealing what visual
element viewers are *not* looking at. It seems reasonable to assume
visual elements not seen will necessarily have no impact. I don't use
eye tracking myself, so I'm just wondering publicly.
