Summary: The study found that high-arousal pictures are associated with a decrease in alpha/beta power, particularly peaking in occipitoparietal sensors; while late alpha/beta power increase to mutilation pictures may reflect top-down inhibitory control processes. These findings suggest that brain oscillations in the alpha/beta-band may serve as a useful measure of emotional stimulus processing.

Summary: This study reviews the manifestation of movement-related oscillations in various neurological and psychiatric disorders. It is found that these abnormalities are present across different pathologies, development, and aging. The study also suggests that cognition and movement are closely related processes that may share common mechanisms regulated by beta modulation.

Summary: This study assessed the relationship between maternal postpartum depression and infants' development of joint attention, comparing Bhutanese and Swedish infants. The results showed that Bhutanese and Swedish infants followed similar developmental trajectories, but the relationship between infants' gaze following and maternal postpartum depression differed between the two groups. This suggests the presence of protective factors in the interdependent family model.

Summary: Human eyes convey a wealth of social information and mutual looks represent an important gaze communication behavior. Through eye tracking, it was found that the time spent in direct eye-to-eye contact is significantly related to the later gaze-following behavior. Thus, while individuals engage in looking at different face parts during interactions, direct eye-to-eye gaze occurs infrequently and the social information conveyed during eye-to-eye contact affects subsequent individual social behavior.

Summary: Mutual gaze can enhance attention and engagement in social interactions. This study used eye trackers and electroencephalographic hyperscanning to explore remote mutual gaze and brain synchronization between interacting dyads. The findings showed that mutual gaze improved joint attention activities among remote partners and revealed interbrain synchrony in frontal and temporal regions. These results have implications for effective online communication.

Summary: Early exposure to diverse people can alter preferences for one's own social group, with infants from racially diverse environments showing less ingroup preference. White infants from more racially diverse neighborhoods exhibit greater attention and motor system activation towards racial outgroup individuals. These neural mechanisms underlying social bias may be influenced by neighborhood racial demographics in the first year of life.

Summary: The study found that humans rated eye contact with a humanoid robot as more engaging and showed higher alpha-band activity synchronization, but this did not modulate gaze-cueing effects.

Summary: This study adopted a big data mining approach to discover the paradigm of visual attention distribution. The proposed method consists of three components: task scenario segmentation and clustering, gaze pattern mining, and association rule mining. The results demonstrate that the method can associate eye-tracking data with task-oriented scene data, providing the benefits of quantitatively analyzing visual attention patterns.

Summary: The study shows that targeted training on gaze control and visual attention significantly improves decision-making performance, response time, and tactical handling in shoot scenarios for police officers. This training has a greater impact on decision-making performance than traditional firearms training.

Summary: Recent research suggests that emotional expression significantly affects participants' gaze behavior in both social and non-social situations. The study compared participants' looking behavior towards a person showing different facial expressions in live social and non-social waiting room scenarios. The findings show that gaze behavior is modulated by social norms and that covert attention occurs more frequently in non-social situations.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the development of social-cognitive abilities in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) compared to healthy controls. Eye tracking tests were conducted on 23 infants with CHD and 84 healthy controls, and it was found that infants with CHD had lower gaze-following behavior at 12 months. Further research is needed to investigate the clinical relevance of these findings and their association with later social-cognitive development.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of gaze fixation and covert attention on motor imagery-based brain-computer interface (BCI) performance by designing a gaze fixation controlled experiment. Results showed that there was a significantly shorter gaze shift response time in congruent trials compared to incongruent trials. However, the lateralization index computed from the parietal and occipital areas did not correlate with BCI behavioral performance.

Summary: This study aimed to extract nonlinear features (complexity, long-range correlation, and local instability) of eye movements during joint attention in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Findings showed that autistic children possessed more complex and unpredictable gaze behaviors during joint attention than typically developing children. Nonlinear features outperformed traditional eye-tracking metrics in distinguishing between successful and failed joint attention trials, and predicting the severity of ASD symptoms.

Summary: Nine-month-old infants' learning in direct and third-party interactions is influenced by eye contact and object-directed gaze, with joint attentional settings showing enhanced encoding. This suggests that infants' observational learning emerges early in postnatal development and relies on factors similar to direct social engagement.

Summary: Remote eye tracking with automated corneal reflection is used to study the cognitive, social, and emotional functions in infants and non-human primates. However, the accuracy of eye-tracking data collected from different populations is uncertain and approaches to reduce measurement error are unclear. This study examined the effects of calibration method and adjustments to areas of interest on the mapping of fixations to AOIs in a longitudinal study involving humans and macaques. The findings suggest the need for adjustments in eye-tracking data collection and extraction approaches based on age and species to minimize measurement error and ensure replicability.

Summary: In this study, a new type of nanostructured titanium-based thin film dry electrode for non-invasive monitoring of body surface biopotentials was proposed. Different Ti-Me metallic binary systems were prepared by magnetron sputtering, showing morphology dependent on chemical composition. In an in-vivo study on volunteers, Ti-Me dry electrodes demonstrated good reusability and reliability, with Ti-Au system performing excellently close to the Ag/AgCl reference electrodes.

Summary: In this study, a predictive multivariate model based on global and spectral brain dynamics features was optimized to understand the brain dynamics underlying the maintenance of a constant force level exerted during a visually guided isometric contraction task. The results showed that longer duration and higher occurrence of microstates associated with visual and executive control networks were related to better contraction performances.
