• The benign online disinhibition effect: Could situational factors induce self-disclosure and prosocial behaviors? (2015, background): “…to play an important role in interpersonal communications, mainly in providing nonverbal information about the interlocutor, enabling expressions of intimacy and selfdisclosure, and supporting social control (Kleinke, 1986; Macdonald & Tatler, 2013; Rigato & Farroni, 2013; Senju & Johnson, 2009).”
• Invisible Man (2014, background): “On one hand, humans are extremely sensitive to eye contact, and mutual gaze plays an important role in social interaction, social learning, and affiliation (Csibra & Gergely, 2009; Senju & Johnson, 2009, Tomasello & Carpenter, 2007).”
• The interactive brain hypothesis (2012, background): “…during communication (Jordan, 2009), the “eye-contact effect” by which perceived direct gaze from others modulates socio-cognitive performance (Senju and Johnson, 2009), understanding the possibilities that fit the collective affect of a social situation (like the “mood” of a meeting), or…”
• Eye-Catching Odors: Olfaction Elicits Sustained Gazing to Faces and Eyes in 4-Month-Old Infants (2013, background): “Conversely, being exposed to an eye-to-eye gazing face is highly rewarding from the neonatal period onwards [42], and may alter the hedonic value of any co-occurring odor.”
• Eye to eye, face to face and brain to brain: novel approaches to study the behavioral dynamics and neural mechanisms of social interactions (2015, positive): “A recently proposed model [18] suggests that on the neural level the ‘eye contact effect’ is brought about by a subcortical route via the amygdala and low-level visual areas including the superior colliculus and the pulvinar.”
• DEEP eye contact detector: Robust eye contact bid detection using convolutional neural network (2017, background): “In psychology, the ‘eye-contact effect’ is the phenomenon in which the perceived eye contact with another human face affects certain aspects of the concurrent and/or immediately following cognitive processing [20].”
