Gaze perception has received considerable research attention due to its importance in social interaction. The majority of recent studies have utilized monoscopic pictorial gaze stimuli. However, a monoscopic direct gaze differs from a live or stereoscopic gaze. In the monoscopic condition, both eyes of the observer receive a direct gaze, whereas in live and stereoscopic conditions, only one eye...

The interpretation of interpersonal gaze behavior requires the use of complex cognitive processes and guides social interactions. Among a variety of different gaze characteristics, gaze direction and gaze duration modulate crucially the meaning of the "social gaze". Nevertheless, prior neuroimaging studies disregarded the relevance of gaze duration by focusing on gaze direction only. The presen...

Gaze and freehand gestures suit Augmented Reality as users can interact with objects at a distance without need for separate input device. We propose Gaze-Hand Alignment novel multimodal selection principle, defined by concurrent use of both gaze hand pointing alignment their on an object trigger. naturally precedes manual action is leveraged pre-selection, crossing pre-selected target complete...

children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd) react explosively and inappropriately to emotional stimuli. it could be hypothesized that these children have some impairment in attending to emotional cues. based on this hypothesis, we conducted this study to evaluate visual directions of children with adhd towards paired emotional scenes.thirty boys between the ages of 6 and 11 ye...

Attending to where others are looking is thought to be of great adaptive benefit for animals when avoiding predators and interacting with group members. Many animals have been reported to respond to the gaze of others, by co-orienting their gaze with group members (gaze following) and/or responding fearfully to the gaze of predators or competitors (i.e., gaze aversion). Much of the literature h...

There is concurrent evidence that visual reach targets are represented with respect to gaze. For tactile reach targets, we previously showed that an effector movement leads to a shift from a gaze-independent to a gaze-dependent reference frame. Here we aimed to unravel the influence of effector movement (gaze shift) on the reference frame of tactile stimuli using a spatial localization task (ye...

Previous research suggests that closing one's eyes or averting one's gaze from another person can benefit visual-spatial imagination by interrupting cognitive demands associated with face-to-face interaction (Markson and Paterson, 2009). The present study further investigated this influence of social gaze on adults' visual-spatial imagination, using the matrix task (Kerr, 1987, 1993). Participa...
