- 🚨 new paper out! Perception of motion and of social interactions are two processes that happen to be localized around the same brain anatomy: lateral occipitotemporal areas. Is motion necessary to see social interactions network? link.springer.com/article/10.1... @cnrs.fr @babylyon.bsky.social
- Two key findings: • Key regions of the social-interaction network (pSTS, EVA and MT) show selectivity to social interaction also when depicted in static images. Thus, motion is not necessary to trigger the social interaction network
- • Seeing two bodies face-to-face is sufficient to trigger the social interaction network, with effects that are strongly left lateralized (see also www.cell.com/current-biol... )

- You wouldn’t drink from a glass if a fish is IN the glass, or would not grab a chair if one is already sitting ON it. How do we represent relations between things? And how does it relate to object and action recognition? New paper out osf.io/preprints/ps... @mmellon.bsky.social
- We presented scenes showing two people (or two objects). We designed a behavioral paradigm to compare how much it takes to recognize that: • There are people (vs other objects) • They are facing vs facing away from each other • They are dancing vs fighting
- We found that it takes no longer to access the category of objects (people vs other) in a scene, than to access the relation between them (facing vs non-facing), while recognizing their (inter)action (fight or dance) takes significantly longer.
