Due to their ability to capture attention, emotional stimuli tend to benefit from enhanced
perceptual processing, which can be helpful when such stimuli are task-relevant but …

Survival prompts organisms to prepare adaptive behavior in response to environmental and
social threat. However, what are the specific features of the appearance of a conspecific that …

There remains great interest in understanding the relationship between visual impairment
(VI) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) due to the extraordinarily high prevalence of ASD …

Humans and other primate species are experts at recognizing body expressions. To
understand the underlying perceptual mechanisms, we computed postural and kinematic …

Influential theories suggest that a defensive behavioral inhibition system (BIS) supports the
inhibition of action tendencies when facing potential threats. However, little is known about …

Social species spend considerable time observing the body movements of others to
understand their actions, predict their emotions, watch their games, or enjoy their dance …

The early response to emotional stimuli involves a transient suppression of motor reactivity
to favor monitoring of emotionally relevant information. Using transcranial magnetic …

The processing of threat‐related emotional body language (EBL) has been shown to
engage sensorimotor cortical areas early on and induce freezing in the observers' motor …

The ability to automatically detect emotional changes in the environment is crucial for social
interaction. In the visual system, expression-related mismatch negativity (EMMN) reflects the …

Background: Brain injury causes multiple symptoms. Among these, visual disturbances are
common; 50–70% of patients experience some change in vision after injury/illness. Other …
