The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演 算法) may soon have the ability to peer__into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience. “Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality，” wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determined their personality traits with “well 3 ­established questionnaires” for determining the personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily. The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person ’ s major personality traits, such as “ neuroticism, extraversion(外向), agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as curiosity”， the scientists wrote. “The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high­tech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines，” Loetscher said. “People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today’s robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non ­ verbal information，” Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals. The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper. 【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从 而一窥人的个性的研究。 4．What do the underlined words “peer into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
