Funded Activity Summary

Perception of Gaze, Head and Body Direction. This project aims to understand the computational processes in our brains that enable us to know where someone else is looking. To an observer, the direction of your gaze reveals where you are looking and hence what you are looking at. This might be an object of shared attention or it might be the observer him or herself. The direction of your gaze is thus a strong social signal to your intentions and future actions. Project findings may be of significance to clinicians seeking to rehabilitate the malfunction of social communicative skills, to scientists interested in the social attention system, and to engineers designing robotic systems to interact socially with humans.
