In a recent fMRI study, Engell and Haxby [52] further compared the responses within the right STS and revealed that expression and averted-gaze activated distinct, though overlapping, regions of cortex.
Rothenberger's subjects are confident in front of the photographer's gaze — their statures distinct in the landscape, their outfits, a combination of traditional Dutch wax fabrics and imported Western garments, reflecting the evolving narrative of the continent.
The experiment comprised five distinct phases an initial "pre-adaptation" gaze-detection phase and four adaptation phases that used the same "adapt and top-up" design.
Head gaze following activated a distinct region in the posterior STS, close to-albeit not overlapping with-the medial face patch delineated by passive viewing of faces.
This finding suggests that ERP responses to dynamic gaze shifts may help characterize distinct developmental profiles leading to autism.
In conclusion, our study provides the first human evidence that left and right gaze directions are coded by distinct neuronal populations in the right anterior STS.
Together these results demonstrate that distinct affective contexts elicit unique patterns in unconstrained gaze and movement.
This reinforces the notion that gaze-velocity and eye/head-velocity neurons are distinct classes within the pursuit region of the FEF (Fukushima et al. 2000; Akao et al. 2007; Fukushima, Kasahara, Akao, Kurkin, et al., 2009).
Instead, different areas of black life have become more distinct and specialized -- flourishing outside of the bounds and gaze of black churches.
