Face-derived information on trustworthiness and attractiveness crucially influences social
interaction. It is, however, unclear to what degree the functional neuroanatomy of these …

Successful social interaction partly depends on appraisal of others from their facial
appearance. A critical aspect of this appraisal relates to whether we consider others to be …

Social decision making is guided by the ability to intuitively judge personal attributes,
including analysis of facial features to infer the trustworthiness of others. Although the neural …

People make rapid and consequential social judgments from minimal (non-emotional) facial
cues. There has been rapid progress in identifying the perceptual basis of these judgments …

Perception and evaluation of facial expressions are known to be heavily modulated by
emotional features of contextual information. Such contextual effects, however, might also be …

Faces convey a multitude of information in social interaction, among which are
trustworthiness and attractiveness. Humans process and evaluate these two dimensions …

Neuroscience research on the social evaluation of faces has accumulated over the last
decade, yielding divergent results. We used a meta-analytic technique, multi-level kernel …

People instantaneously evaluate faces with significant agreement on evaluations of social
traits. However, the neural basis for such rapid spontaneous face evaluation remains largely …

Social interactions require quick perception, interpretation, and categorization of faces, with
facial features offering cues to emotions, intentions, and traits. Importantly, reactions to faces …

Judgments of facial attractiveness are central to decision-making in various domains, but
little is known about the extent to which they are malleable. In this study, we used EEG/ERP …
