Summary: Third-party punishment refers to the behavior of punishing wrongdoers at personal costs without direct benefits. This study investigated the effects of eye cues on third-party punishment and found that negative eye cues have a stronger impact on punishment compared to positive cues. Results suggest that eye cues, especially negative expressions, play a role in influencing third-party punishment.

Summary: Contextual cueing can rely on global configuration or local item positions. This study investigated the effects of these cues on the lateralization of cueing. Cueing by item position was tested by recombining previously learned displays while maintaining individual item locations but destroying the global configuration. On the other hand, cueing by configuration was investigated by rotating learned displays and changing all item positions while keeping the configuration intact. The findings suggest that only configural cues enable memory-guided search for targets across the entire display, while position cues only guide search for targets near the fixation.

Summary: In this paper, an efficient method for eye detection based on thermal image processing is proposed to overcome the challenges posed by poor contrast and high noise in thermal images. The method shows high accuracy and fast response in real conditions without the complexities associated with deep learning models.

Summary: This study investigated birefringence-derived scleral artifacts in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of eyes with pathologic myopia. The results showed that polarization-dependent OCT images had more artifacts than commercial OCT images, and polarization-diversity OCT is an effective tool to evaluate these artifacts.

Summary: Current methods for segmenting eye imagery cannot leverage eye motion information, while we propose a synthetic image rendering pipeline based on real eye video data, which can generate synthetic imagery depicting natural gaze dynamics and provide ground-truth segmentation maps for training image segmentation networks.

Summary: Social interactions involve a complex interplay between social perceptual biases and higher-level cognition and affect, with attention to others' eyes being a crucial aspect. Previous research has found a positive relationship between eye-looking and empathy, but manipulating one behavior does not seem to lead to changes in the other. This suggests that the relationship between visual attention and social cognition is intricate and challenging to modify.

Summary: The current research examines the influence of perspective taking on social tuning, focusing on the alignment of one's self-views and explicit attitudes with those of an interaction partner. Six different experiments were conducted, manipulating perspective taking mindset and providing information about the partner's views. The results showed that perspective takers were more likely to align their self-views and explicit attitudes with the partner's attitudes, but social tuning did not occur for implicit attitudes.

Summary: This article explores the nature of monitoring, the structure of monitoring processes, and the classification of monitoring systems. It proposes an abstract definition of monitoring as the systematic collection of data about the behavior of individuals and objects, and argues for the development of a general theory of monitoring.

Summary: Previous research has shown that internally maintained social cues in working memory can induce attentional orienting, which cannot be solely explained by perceptual-attentional processes. Non-social cues, such as arrows, do not elicit a similar attentional-orienting effect as social cues when held in working memory.

Summary: The study found that establishing eye contact has a positive impact on the perceived socialness of humanoid robots and the quality of human-robot interaction. Participants were more sensitive to eye contact, feeling more engaged and attributing a higher level of human-likeness to robots with eye contact.

Summary: This paper presents an EEG-based real-time emotion tagging approach by extracting inter-brain features from participants watching the same emotional video clips. The inter-brain amplitude feature had better prediction performance than other features, with regression values obtained for arousal and valence. The results show promising potentials of inter-brain EEG features in real-time emotion tagging applications.

Summary: This study applied the theoretical frameworks of the social and artistic brain to investigate how VTS methods influence gaze patterns and personal resonance with artworks. The results showed that using VTS techniques directed gaze towards social cues in artworks, and audio cues had a stronger effect than contextual information. However, the viewing condition did not affect personal resonance with the artworks.

Summary: This study uses eye movements to investigate how individuals assign stereotypical policy positions to candidates in a multimodal environment. Results show that politically-knowledgeable individuals tend to use partisan-based stereotypes more, while political novices do not prioritize one type of stereotype over the other.

Summary: The use of eye-tracking methods provides more direct and reliable assessment of attentional biases towards pain. Results showed significant attentional biases towards pain-related words or pictures in terms of dwell time and probability of first fixation, indicating that attentional biases towards pain stimuli are prominent regardless of pain status.

Summary: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of working memory load on gaze cueing effect in high and low trait-anxious participants using EEG. The results showed that working memory load influenced the gaze cueing effect regardless of emotion and anxiety levels. High anxious individuals exhibited initial hypervigilance and difficulty in disengaging from target locations cued by fearful faces, while low anxious individuals showed attention shifting only when enough resources were available in working memory.

Summary: The study found limited influence of uncontrolled eating on food cue reactivity and food-related inhibitory control. Women with a low/average tendency for uncontrolled eating may need more cognitive resources to support successful inhibitory control of non-food stimuli during inter-meal periods, while those with a high tendency showed this after food consumption.

Summary: Emerging evidence suggests that pregnant women are experiencing increased levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms during COVID-19 compared to pre-pandemic norms. This study examined cognitive and social vulnerability factors for poor mental health in pregnancy during COVID-19. The findings show that COVID-19related stress is associated with higher levels of depression and anxiety, particularly in women with cognitive and social vulnerabilities. The study highlights the importance of prioritizing mental health care for pregnant women to mitigate the impact of COVID-19-related stress on postpartum mental health and infant well-being.

Summary: This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pain, fatigue symptoms, and mental health in people with endometriosis. The findings show that there has been a significant worsening of symptoms and mental health among participants compared to six months prior. The study also suggests that pain catastrophising plays a role in mediating the relationship between changes in mental health and changes in pain and fatigue.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between multiple cognitive factors and resilient functioning, including memory bias, interpretation bias, worry, rumination, self-esteem, and self-reported trait resilience. The findings suggest that memory bias is a key factor explaining the differences in resilient functioning, and memory bias and resilient functioning reinforce each other over time.

Summary: The study found that affective flexibility is associated with anxiety and worry, with inefficient shifting of attention towards positive stimuli predicting increased anxiety over time, and efficient shifting of attention away from negative stimuli predicting increased anxiety and worry over time. These findings suggest that anxiety may not be linked to general impairments in cognitive flexibility, highlighting the importance of breaking down cognitive flexibility into different components to investigate more nuanced relationships.
