In their recent article in TiCS [1], McMahon and Isik present evidence to argue that the core of third-party social interaction perception is visual in nature, selectively relying upon a specialized region in superior temporal sulcus (STS). This view is presented in contrast to the prevalent notion that third-party social interaction perception is part of […]

In a recent letter [1], Grossmann argues that, in young children and non-human primates, third-party social interaction recognition is supported by top-down processing in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). He suggests that top-down signals in the developing brain may be used to train neural systems in the superior temporal sulcus (STS), which, in adults, appears […]

The study presents a novel approach designed to detect time-continuous states in time-series data, called the State-Detecting Algorithm (SDA). The SDA operates on unlabeled data and detects optimal change-points among intrinsic functional states in time-series data based on an ensemble of Ward’s hierarchical clustering with time-connectivity constraint. The algorithm chooses the best number of states […]
