Boosting forward connectivity between primary visual and body selective cortex reduces interference between sex and emotion judgements of bodies

The paper investigates how boosting forward connectivity between visual and body-selective cortex affects interference between sex and emotion judgments, finding that it eliminates sex interference on emotion judgments.

Converging evidence that left extrastriate body area supports visual sensitivity to social interactions

The paper demonstrates that left EBA activity causally supports efficient visual perception of social interactions through fMRI, behavioral, and TMS experiments.

The role of motion in the neural representation of social interactions in the posterior temporal cortex

This study investigates how motion contributes to social interaction perception in the posterior temporal cortex using neuroimaging and behavioral data from 22 participants.

fMRI repetition suppression reveals no sensitivity to trait judgments from faces along the ventral visual stream or in the theory-of-mind network

This study uses fMRI repetition suppression to test if face perception and theory-of-mind networks show sensitivity to trait judgments from faces, but finds no evidence of such sensitivity.
