[HTML][HTML] Seeing mental states: An experimental strategy for measuring the observability of other minds
Is it possible to perceive others' mental states? Are mental states visible in others' behavior?
In contrast to the traditional view that mental states are hidden and not directly accessible to …

On the role of eye contact in gaze cueing
Most experimental protocols examining joint attention with the gaze cueing paradigm are
“observational” and “offline”, thereby not involving social interaction. We examined whether …

Eye contact during joint attention with a humanoid robot modulates oscillatory brain activity
Eye contact established by a human partner has been shown to affect various cognitive
processes of the receiver. However, little is known about humans' responses to eye contact …
