Existing models propose that primate visual cortex is divided into two functionally distinct
pathways. The ventral pathway computes the identity of an object; the dorsal pathway …

Social perception refers to initial stages in the processing of information that culminates in
the accurate analysis of the dispositions and intentions of other individuals. Single-cell …

Recent theoretical work has argued that in addition to the classical ventral (what) and dorsal
(where/how) visual streams, there is a third visual stream on the lateral surface of the brain …

Primates are highly attuned not just to social characteristics of individual agents, but also to
social interactions between multiple agents. Here we report a neural correlate of the …

Human vision serves the social function of detecting and discriminating with high efficiency
conspecifics and other animals. The social world is made of social entities as much as the …

Social attention is conveyed primarily by gaze, but also by head and body orientation. These
cues not only signal a seen agent's direction of attention but are also used to infer their …

Humans are an intensely social species. Our social abilities depend upon specialized brain
systems for rapidly recognizing the faces of others, for interpreting the actions of others …

According to the influential “Two Visual Pathways” hypothesis, the cortical visual system is
segregated into two pathways, with the ventral, occipitotemporal pathway subserving object …

An explication of the neural substrates for social perception is an important component in the
emerging field of social cognitive neuroscience and is relevant to the field of cognitive …

Neuroimaging and lesion studies suggest that the superior temporal sulcus (STS) region is
involved in eye gaze processing. Hence, the STS region is suggested to be the location of …
