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 …

Face perception relies on computations carried out in face-selective cortical areas. These
areas have been intensively investigated for two decades, and this work has been guided by …

Predictive coding posits that neural systems make forward-looking predictions about
incoming information. Neural signals contain information not about the currently perceived …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

During social interactions, people's eyes convey a wealth of information about their direction
of attention and their emotional and mental states. This review aims to provide a …

Face perception is critical for normal social functioning and is mediated by a network of
regions in the ventral visual stream. In this review, we describe recent neuroimaging findings …

The 'eye contact effect'is the phenomenon that perceived eye contact with another human
face modulates certain aspects of the concurrent and/or immediately following cognitive …

Abstract Johnson and Morton (1991. Biology and Cognitive Development: The Case of Face
Recognition. Blackwell, Oxford) used Gabriel Horn's work on the filial imprinting model to …

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 …

The ability to adaptively follow conspecific eye movements is crucial for establishing shared
attention and survival. Indeed, in humans, interacting with the gaze direction of others …
