The beautiful Hall of Mirrors that today hosts an exciting symposium on “The underconceptualization of everyday life”, put together by @ericman.bsky.social 🤩
with @bpomie.bsky.social @benedek.bsky.social and myself at the ESPP conference in Warsaw. So much to think about !

Today at #ECVP25 @mmellon.bsky.social presented new data of an #fNIRS study providing the first evidence of selectivity for social interaction events in visual cortex in 6- and 10-month-old babies 👶🏻
Tempting to think that this reveals where social perception begins in the brain 🧠

At the #ECVP2025 today Violette Munin presented her new fMRI work on the visual stream for processing social information.
If you are around and want to continue the discussion, we are here for this ☺️
Stay tuned for more talk from our lab in the upcoming days!

Two key findings:
• Key regions of the social-interaction network (pSTS, EVA and MT) show selectivity to social interaction also when depicted in static images. Thus, motion is not necessary to trigger the social interaction network
• Key regions of the social-interaction network (pSTS, EVA and MT) show selectivity to social interaction also when depicted in static images. Thus, motion is not necessary to trigger the social interaction network

🚨 new paper out!
Perception of motion and of social interactions are two processes that happen to be localized around the same brain anatomy: lateral occipitotemporal areas. Is motion necessary to see social interactions network?

We found that it takes no longer to access the category of objects (people vs other) in a scene, than to access the relation between them (facing vs non-facing), while recognizing their (inter)action (fight or dance) takes significantly longer.

We presented scenes showing two people (or two objects). We designed a behavioral paradigm to compare how much it takes to recognize that:
• There are people (vs other objects)
• They are facing vs facing away from each other
• They are dancing vs fighting
• There are people (vs other objects)
• They are facing vs facing away from each other
• They are dancing vs fighting

You wouldn’t drink from a glass if a fish is IN the glass, or would not grab a chair if one is already sitting ON it.
How do we represent relations between things? And how does it relate to object and action recognition?

We are not used to seeing our amphitheaters so crowded, especially not with an audience of non-scientists. But yesterday we saw it.
People care about science.

We search for an object in an array just like we search for a person in a crowd. Or no? Here the performance in visual search suggests distinct algorithms or implementation in social vs. non-social scene perception. With N. Goupil & @dkaiserlab.bsky.social psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

Alon Hafri & I wrote a thing!
We touch base with research on scene perception and outline the advances and open questions raised by the perspective that processing relations (between objects) is a central function of visual perception.

Following Roman Wittig @taichimpproject.bsky.social presentation, some facts about human brain:
It takes 2% of body weight but demands 20% of body energy.
This’s because we have an immense cognitive capacity that defines what we are.
My take: We’ve no excuses for being the id$¥s that we often are!

We also found that human adults automatically encode social scenes in terms of agent and patient (based on postures and spatial relations), even when not required by the task and even for scenes that are not easy to describe verbally
