Title:
Seeing social beings
Abstract: “Social cognition” refers to a set of high-level processes for understanding and behaving in the social world, which take place in the
“social brain” across the association cortex in the temporoparietal cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, and amygdala. However, a growing body of evidence, using the visual system as a model, points to a closer and more integrated relationship between social
cognition and basic perceptual mechanisms than previously appreciated. I will present behavioral and neuroimaging research showing that a principle for the organization of information in visual perception (and in visual cortex) is the social-nonsocial distinction,
which reveals itself early in the behavior of humans –as well as other socially gregarious species such as monkeys and chicks.
