Perception of Gaze, Head and Body Direction

这个项目旨在了解我们大脑中的计算过程，使我们能够知道别人在看什么。对于一个观察者来说，你凝视的方向揭示了你在看什么，从而揭示了你在看什么。这可能是一个共同关注的对象，也可能是观察者自己。因此，你凝视的方向是你意图和未来行动的一个强烈的社会信号。项目的研究结果可能是重要的临床医生寻求恢复社会沟通技能的故障，对社会关注系统感兴趣的科学家，和工程师设计的机器人系统与人类进行社会互动。

This project aims to understand the computational processes in our brains that enable us to know where someone else is looking. To an observer, the direction of your gaze reveals where you are looking and hence what you are looking at. This might be an object of shared attention or it might be the observer him or herself. The direction of your gaze is thus a strong social signal to your intentions and future actions. Project findings may be of significance to clinicians seeking to rehabilitate the malfunction of social communicative skills, to scientists interested in the social attention system, and to engineers designing robotic systems to interact socially with humans.
