Seeing the interactions between other people is a critical part of our everyday visual
experience, but recognizing the social interactions of others is often considered outside the …

The ventral visual stream is conceived as a pathway for object recognition. However, we
also recognize the actions an object can be involved in. Here, we show that action …

Modular and distributed coding theories of category selectivity along the human ventral
visual stream have long existed in tension. Here, we present a reconciling framework …

Studying the neural basis of human dynamic visual perception requires extensive
experimental data to evaluate the large swathes of functionally diverse brain neural …

Recent theoretical work has argued that in addition to the classical ventral (what) and dorsal
(where/how) visual streams, there is a third visual stream on the lateral surface of the brain …

Primates have evolved diverse cognitive capabilities to navigate their complex social world.
To understand how the brain implements critical social cognitive abilities, we describe …

Everyday interactions with common manipulable objects require the integration of
conceptual knowledge about objects and actions with real-time sensory information about …

Our thoughts depend on knowledge about objects, people, properties, and events. To think
about where we left our keys, what we are going to make for dinner, when we last fed the …

Observing others' actions recruits frontoparietal and posterior temporal brain regions–also
called the action observation network. It is typically assumed that these regions support …

Human vision serves the social function of detecting and discriminating with high efficiency
conspecifics and other animals. The social world is made of social entities as much as the …
