Face Patch Resting State Networks Link Face Processing to Social Cognition

Social cognition and face processing in schizophrenia.

Summary Studies of face processing have begun to elucidate the brain regions involved in social cognition, which include frontal and temporal regions known to be reduced in volume in schizophrenia. In this case-control study participants with schizophrenia (n=20) showed marked deficits in their ability to interpret social cues from faces, and those experiencing positive symptoms were impaired i...

Modeling face-to-face social interaction networks

Effectiveness of Link Prediction for Face-to-Face Behavioral Networks

Research on link prediction for social networks has been actively pursued. In link prediction for a given social network obtained from time-windowed observation, new link formation in the network is predicted from the topology of the obtained network. In contrast, recent advances in sensing technology have made it possible to obtain face-to-face behavioral networks, which are social networks re...

Social cognition in schizophrenia: a review of face processing.

BACKGROUND People with schizophrenia have difficulties in interpreting social information. Much social information is gathered from faces, and face processing represents a well-characterized model to study the basis of social deficits in schizophrenia. SOURCES OF DATA A narrative review of selected literature. AREAS OF AGREEMENT Individuals with schizophrenia have impairments in recognizing...

Social Evolution: Opinions and Behaviors in Face-to-Face Networks

Exposure to new ideas and opinions, and their diffusion within social networks, are important questions in education, business, and government. However until recently there has been no method to automatically capture fine-grained face-to-face interactions between people, to better model the diffusion process. In this thesis, we describe the use of colocation and communication sensors in ‘social...
