Cross-category adaptation reveals tight coupling of face and body perception.
Faces and bodies are arguably the visual stimuli most relevant for human social interactions. Only recently, however, has research begun to reveal the interaction between face and body perception. Here we report on a recent study by Ghuman and colleagues and other behavioral and neuroimaging investigations that, taken together, provide compelling evidence for a tight coupling of face and body perception.
