      <dc:description>Background.We investigated whether individuals with high levels of autistic traits integrate&#xd;
relevant communicative signals, such as facial expression, when decoding eye-gaze direction. Methods.&#xd;
Students with high vs. low scores on the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) performed a task in&#xd;
which they responded to the eye directions of faces, presented on the left or the right side of a&#xd;
screen, portraying different emotional expressions. Results. In both groups, the identification of gaze&#xd;
direction was faster when the eyes were directed towards the center of the scene. However, in the&#xd;
low AQ group, this effect was larger for happy faces than for neutral faces or faces showing other&#xd;
emotional expressions, whereas participants from high AQ group were not affected by emotional&#xd;
expressions. Conclusions. These results suggest that individuals with more autistic traits may not&#xd;
integrate multiple communicative signals based on their emotional value.</dc:description>
