ATTENTION, LE SEMINAIRE AURA EXCEPTIONNELLEMENT LIEU DE 14H A 15H.
Nous aurons le plaisir d'accueillir Nicolas Burra, chercheur à l'Experimental Social Cognition's lab, Université de Genève.
Son intervention est intitulée : "The influence of top-down processing in gaze perception".
Abstract:
Humans, as a social species, have an increased ability to detect and perceive visual elements involved in social exchanges, such as faces and eyes. Indeed, eyes and gaze conveys information crucial to social interactions. Researchers have postulated that in order to engage in dynamic face-to-face, real-time communication, our brains must quickly and automatically process the direction of another person's gaze, also known as the "direct gaze effect." However, recent evidence suggests that the way we process visual information modulates the direct gaze effect. We argue that top-down processing, and specifically the relevance of eye features to the task, promotes early preferential processing of direct versus indirect gaze. I will present current studies that contribute to the gaze processing literature, both empirically and theoretically, by systematically assessing the role of top-down processing in early direct gaze perception.
