Attention partagée et cognition sociale

Where and when should a robot look during interaction with humans? Intuitively, human-human interaction serves as the blueprint. In such interactions, gaze plays a central role, both in visually guidi…

The visual system may perceptually process conspecifics more efficiently when they are interacting, versus not, to support social cognitive functions such as group detection. In three experiments, you…

Although eye cues have proven effective in simulated gaze contact, it remains unclear how and through which eye parameters people interpret and use such cues in real interactions. We developed a real-…

Research on dynamic face processing often emphasizes facial movements while overlooking how social information conveyed by moving faces influences face perception and memory. Our study investigated ho…

This study proposes a process model for sharing ambiguous category concepts in virtual reality (VR) using an active inference framework. The model executes a dual-layer Bayesian update after observing…

Joint attention (i.e. looking where others look) can implicitly elicit positive social behaviour: people trust more and are more altruistic toward individuals who are helpful in cueing relevant object…

This study investigated whether attentional orienting in response to gaze cues enhances visual working memory (WM) automatically, or whether engagement of top-down processes is necessary for such effe…

Joint attention is crucial for the development of social cognition, but whether the type of relationship (i.e. cooperative or competitive) or interaction (e.g. addressed or witnessed) modulates joint …

Covert visual attention is often seen as a lab phenomenon. Yet, in real-life, people routinely shift their attention to others without moving their eyes, a fact overlooked in most research. To truly u…

Attention to others' direct gaze supports many social-cognitive processes (e.g., emotion recognition, joint attention) that are known to decline with age, but it remains to be established whether atte…

When studying spontaneous or learned emotional responses to social stimuli, research has traditionally relied on simplified stimuli repeatedly presented on a computer screen in standardized laboratory…

: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by a range of deficits across cognitive, sensory, motor, emotional, language, and social domains, which can significantly hinder daily functioning and…
