Gaze is an important component of social interaction. The function, evolution and
neurobiology of gaze processing are therefore of interest to a number of researchers. This …

In general, individuals look where they attend and next intend to act. Many animals,
including our own species, use observed gaze as a deictic (“pointing”) cue to guide …

Highlights•Gaze stimuli are effective in modulating attention and perception in human
observers.•People use gaze to acquire information about others, but also use it to …

Gaze direction is an important social signal in both human and nonhuman primates,
providing information about conspecifics' attention, interests, and intentions [1–4]. Single …

Current research indicates that human gaze direction is a special cue for shifting attention
for one of two reasons:(1) it reflects social desires and intentions and (2) its basic perceptual …

Eyes and gaze are very important stimuli for human social interactions. Recent studies
suggest that impairments in recognizing face identity, facial emotions or in inferring attention …

Humans rapidly shift attention in the direction other individuals are looking, following gaze in
a manner suggestive of an obligatory social reflex [1–4]. Monkeys' attention also follows …

Infants are sensitive to the referential information conveyed by others' eye gaze, which could
be one of the developmental foundations of theory of mind. To investigate the neural …

Tracking eye-movements provides easy access to cognitive processes involved in visual
and sensorimotor processing. More recently, the underlying neural mechanisms have been …

Macaques, like humans, rapidly orient their attention in the direction other individuals are
looking. Both cortical and subcortical pathways have been proposed as neural mediators of …
