Understanding Pupillometrics

The video explores the concept of pupillometrics, the study of pupil dilation as an indicator of attraction. It begins with a humorous discussion about how pupils react to attractive stimuli, referencing old cartoons. The video then delves into the scientific basis of pupillometrics, explaining how pupil size can indicate emotional responses to beauty. An experiment is set up to measure pupil dilation using a digital pupilometer, with a participant named Chris, to test the theory that pupil size changes when viewing attractive objects.
