Abstract: The present study investigated whether another person’s direct gaze holds a perceiver’s visuospatial attention and whether social exclusion or social inclusion would enhance this effect. Participants were socially excluded, socially included, or underwent a non-social… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2019.104113
Abstract: Direct-gaze signals are known to modulate human cognition, including self-awareness. In the present study, we specifically focused on 'bodily' self-awareness and examined whether direct gaze would modulate one's interoceptive accuracy (IAcc)-the ability to accurately monitor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2020.104519
Abstract: Direct gaze - someone looking at you - is an important and subjectively-salient stimulus. Its processing is thought to be enhanced by the brain's internalised predictions - priors - that effectively specify it as the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2021.104901
Abstract: Eye contact is a powerful social signal, and it readily captures attention. Recent work has suggested that direct gaze is prioritized even unconsciously: faces rendered invisible via interocular suppression enter awareness faster when they look… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/13506285.2017.1370052
Abstract: ABSTRACT Humans have shown a detection advantage of direct vs. averted gaze stimuli in visual search tasks. However, instead of attentional capture by direct gaze, the detection advantage in visual search may depend on attention-grabbing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/03010066221122359
Abstract: Perceiving other people's direct gaze is important for many areas of everyday activity. For horizontal and vertical eye movements, the area of being looked at, known as the cone of gaze, has been well explored.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01587
Abstract: In recent years, many studies have shown that perceiving other individuals’ direct gaze has robust effects on various attentional and cognitive processes. However, considerably less attention has been devoted to investigating the affective effects triggered… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.682395
Abstract: Direct eye gaze is a potent stimulus in social interactions and is often associated with interest and approach orientation. Yet, there is remarkable variability in the range of gaze lines that people accept as being… read more here.
