Oculesics, a subcategory of kinesics, is the study of eye movement, behavior, gaze, and eye-related nonverbalcommunication. The term's specific designation slightly varies apropos of the field of study (e.g., medicine or social science).[1][2] Communication scholars use the term "oculesics" to refer to the investigation of culturally-fluctuating propensities and appreciations of visual attention, gaze and other implicitly effusive elements of the eyes.[3] Comparatively, medical professionals may ascribe the same appellation to the measurement of a patient's ocular faculty, especially subsequent a cerebral or other injury (e.g., a concussion).
