In everyday experience, we interact with objects and we navigate through space. Extensive research has revealed that these visual behaviors are mediated by separable object-based and scene-based processing mechanisms in the mind and brain. However, w...

Robot Diagnosis Test for Egocentric and Allocentric Hemineglect.

Archives of clinical neuropsychology : the official journal of the National Academy of Neuropsychologists
OBJECTIVE: Patients with hemineglect fail to respond to egocentric stimuli or allocentric parts of stimuli contralateral to the brain lesion. The clinical diagnosis of hemineglect mainly involves evaluation of the egocentric form, while less sensitiv...

In natural interaction with embodied robots, we prefer it when they follow our gaze: a gaze-contingent mobile eyetracking study.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
Initiating joint attention by leading someone's gaze is a rewarding experience which facilitates social interaction. Here, we investigate this experience of leading an agent's gaze while applying a more realistic paradigm than traditional screen-base...

Brain stimulation to left prefrontal cortex modulates attentional orienting to gaze cues.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
In social interactions, we rely on non-verbal cues like gaze direction to understand the behaviour of others. How we react to these cues is determined by the degree to which we believe that they originate from an entity with a mind capable of having ...

Brief Report: Evaluating the Utility of Varied Technological Agents to Elicit Social Attention from Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Learning From Peers' Eye Movements in the Absence of Expert Guidance: A Proof of Concept Using Laboratory Stock Trading, Eye Tracking, and Machine Learning.

Cognitive science
Existing research shows that people can improve their decision skills by learning what experts paid attention to when faced with the same problem. However, in domains like financial education, effective instruction requires frequent, personalized fee...

A Sibling-Mediated Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Using the Natural Language Paradigm (NLP).

Journal of autism and developmental disorders
We taught three typically developing siblings to occasion speech by implementing the Natural Language Paradigm (NLP) with their brothers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A non-concurrent multiple baseline design across children with ASD and sibli...

An automated behavioral measure of mind wandering during computerized reading.

Behavior research methods
Mind wandering is a ubiquitous phenomenon in which attention shifts from task-related to task-unrelated thoughts. The last decade has witnessed an explosion of interest in mind wandering, but research has been stymied by a lack of objective measures,...
