In recent years, deep artificial neural networks (including recurrent ones) have won
numerous contests in pattern recognition and machine learning. This historical survey …

The middle temporal gyrus (MTG) participates in a variety of functions, suggesting the
existence of distinct functional subregions. In order to further delineate the functions of this …

Facial motion transmits rich and ethologically vital information [1, 2], but how the brain
interprets this complex signal is poorly understood. Facial form is analyzed by anatomically …

Here, we report a novel social orienting response that occurs after viewing averted gaze. We
show, in three experiments, that when a person looks from one location to an object …

Background Gaze direction provides important information about social attention, and

Abstract The Mona Lisa effect describes the phenomenon when the eyes of a portrait appear
to look at the observer regardless of the observer's position. Recently, the metaphor of a …

Seven studies used the Implicit Association Test to measure preference for gaze direction.
For faces with neutral expressions, people clearly preferred eyes looking towards them …

Determining where another person is attending is an important skill for social interaction that
relies on various visual cues, including the turning direction of the head and body. This study …

Neurons in successive stages of the primate ventral visual pathway encode the spatial
structure of visual objects. In this paper, we investigate through computer simulation how …
