The visual memory of others' postures has been proposed to be shaped by knowledge and expectations. For example, the visual memory of a lifted arm was recently shown to be biased downward, suggesting that observers predicted the upcoming state of the arm based on knowledge of the effort required to hold the arm up against gravity. Alternatively, th...

Body postures provide information about others’ actions, intentions, and emotions. Little is known about how postures are represented in the visual system. Considering our extensive visual and motor experience with body postures, we hypothesized that priors derived from this experience may systematically bias visual body posture representations. We...

Body postures provide information about others' actions, intentions, and emotional states. However, little is known about how postures are represented in the brain's visual system.

Social interaction, the process through which individuals act and react toward each other, is arguably the building block of society. As the very first step for successful social interaction, we need to derive the orientation and immediate social relevance of other people: a person facing toward us is much more likely to initiate communications tha...

Ocular dominance plasticity in adults has been extensively studied in the recent decade. An interocular imbalance of visual input, e.g. monocular deprivation, has been proved to markedly reshape ocular dominance. As visual attention can be eye-specific, dissimilar visual inputs from the two eyes during monocular deprivation inevitably lead attentio...
