Description of the methodological aspects of this study. a: Design of the two experiments performed by participants: face discrimination task (top) and emotion discrimination task (bottom). Face or Emotion tasks are presented in a block of respectively 15 and 20 trials. Taking into account the patients’ well-known fatigability, the task did not last more than 5 min. For the face recognition task, all the external features (hair, body) were deleted, so only the internal facial features could be used for recognition. b: Examples of the areas of interest (AOIs) used in the analysis of the eye-tracking data. C: Schema of the scene from the movie that illustrates the AOIs determined in the first part of the first sequence: the face of the speaker on the right-hand side, the face of the woman on the left-hand side, and the face of the man in the background. The screen was also defined as an AOI (not shown in this figure)
