The meeting was a discussion that built on the following review:
Hessels, R. S. (2020). How does gaze to faces support face-to-face interaction? A review and perspective. Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 27(5), 856–881.
The paper covers functional constraints of gaze for acquiring information from faces; facial identity, emotional expressions, and gaze; speech perception and gaze; perception of looking direction; face scanning; observational and eye-tracking studies of gaze in interaction; and a dynamic-systems perspective on gaze in face-to-face interaction.
We were delighted that the author, Dr Roy Hessels (Utrecht University), joined us for the discussion, along with two expert guests on gaze behaviour and social interaction: Professor Alan Kingstone (University of British Columbia) and Professor Daniel Richardson (University College London).
