We all know that people sometimes change their behavior when someone is looking their way. Now, a new study reported online on April 2nd in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, shows that jackdaws -birds related to crows and ravens with eyes that appear similar to human eyes -can do the same. http://www.physorg.com/news157897513.html Biology Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:25:38 EST news157897513 (PhysOrg.com) -- Why do we look when another person looks? Are we looking for objects of interest or perhaps a warning of impending danger? Or are we just plain nosey? Human tendency to follow another person's gaze - `gaze following' - can be traced back to man's most distant relatives, according to a new scientific report. http://www.physorg.com/news152812829.html Biology Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:01:12 EST news152812829 A new study in the journal Family Process shows that infants appear to be active participants in complex interactional sequences with their parents far earlier than previously thought. Researchers documented the capacity of three-month old infants to share attention with two partners simultaneously. http://www.physorg.com/news147532854.html Medicine & Health Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:20:54 EST news147532854 A study recently published in ARVO's online Journal of Vision may inform the next generation of in-car driving assistance systems. New research finds that when drivers fix their gaze on specific targets placed strategically along a curve, their steering is smoother and more stable than it is in normal conditions. http://www.physorg.com/news139570522.html Medicine & Health Tue, 02 Sep 2008 10:35:22 EST news139570522 Gaze direction is significant for the processing of visual information from the human face. Researchers in an Academy of Finland funded research project have discovered that the visual system of the brain processes another person's face more efficiently when the person's gaze is straight ahead than when the gaze is averted. The research is part of the Academy's Research Programme on Neuroscience (NEURO). http://www.physorg.com/news137840073.html Medicine & Health Wed, 13 Aug 2008 09:54:33 EST news137840073
