- Abstract: The observation of eye expression is an important aspect of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis.Traditional Chinese medicine proposes the original proposition that"the eyes are the messenger of the heart",suggesting that eye expression reflects the external manifestation of mental consciousness and cognitive activities.Research has shown that eye expression can directly reflect brain function and cognitive abilities,serving as a biological marker for pathological changes in brain structure and playing an important role in early diagnosis of mental disorders.In recent years,scholars have paid increasing attention to eye tracking technology as an objective tool for measuring eye expression.This paper outlines the theoretical basis of using traditional Chinese medicine's observation of eye expression for diagnosing mental disorders,and analyzes the current application status of eye tracking technology in diagnosing conditions such as depression,schizophrenia,and autism spectrum disorder.It is hoped that this review will provide insights for future research on applying objective methods to traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis through observing eye expressions.
