Previous literature has reported enhanced affective and attentional responses to faces with
a direct vs. averted gaze. Typically, in these studies, only single faces were presented …

Facial electromyographic responses and skin conductance responses were measured to
investigate whether, in a neutral laboratory environment, another individual's direct gaze …

Another person's gaze directed to oneself elicits autonomic arousal and facial reactions
indicating positive affect in its observer. These effects have only been found to occur with …

We measured participants' psychophysiological responses and gaze behavior while viewing
a stimulus person's direct and averted gaze in three different conditions manipulating the …

Eye contact with another person (social gaze) can evoke emotions, produce autonomic
arousal, and influence behavior. Gaze cues can be evocative even when presented in static …

Several recent studies have begun to examine the neurocognitive mechanisms involved in
perceiving and responding to eye contact, a salient social signal of interest and readiness …

Recent research has revealed enhanced autonomic and subjective responses to eye
contact only when perceiving another live person. However, these enhanced responses to …

The present study investigated the effect of stimulus duration on skin conductance
responses (SCRs) evoked by different gaze directions of a live person. In two separate parts …

Eye contact has a fundamental role in human social interaction. The special appearance of
the human eye (ie, white sclera contrasted with a coloured iris) implies the importance of …

Eye contact is an essential social cue. Enhanced brain, autonomic, and self-assessed
responses are associated to making eye contact with a person. Interestingly, greater …
