Abstract
Humans are experts at reading others’ actions. They efficiently process others’ movements in real time to predict intended future movements. Here we designed a competitive reaching task to investigate real-time body reading in a naturalistic setting. Two subjects faced each other separated...

Abstract: The Weber-Fechner law is a foundational rule of psychophysics that applies to many sensory dimensions. Biologically, the Weber-Fechner law can be implemented by a set of cells with receptive fields supporting a logarithmic scale. Psychologically, we have the ability to preferentially...

Prof. Justin Wood, USC
Abstract: What are the origins of high-level vision: Is this ability hardwired by genes or learned during development? Although researchers have been wrestling with this question for over a century, progress has been hampered by two major limitations: (1) most newborn animals cannot be raised in...

Prof. Thomas Serre, Brown University
Abstract: Perception involves a complex interaction between feedforward (bottom-up) sensory-driven inputs and feedback (top-down) attention and memory-driven processes. A mechanistic understanding of feedforward processing, and its limitations, is a necessary first step towards elucidating key...

Topic: Infants' Understanding of Social Actions
Abstract: Intentional human actions fall into at least two partially separable classes -- actions aimed at interacting with objects and actions aimed at interacting with people. The principles by which these two types of actions are effective vary...
