abstract="To determine where another person is looking, the visual system engages a process of emergent integration, pooling information across space from both the head and eyes. Gaze is dynamic, however, and in order to achieve a temporally stabilized metric of a person's direction of attention, this integrative process might also occur across time. Here, we tested and confirmed this prediction. Even when seen separately and in succession, the rotation of a head attracted the perceived gaze of a pair of eyes. This integration depended on temporal continuity-attraction decayed with longer delays between the face parts and prolonged viewing of the head reduced integration. Nevertheless, gaze integration persisted across delays of 2 s and even occurred against a backdrop of changing emotional expression. Gaze is a complex feature that orchestrates social interactions over time. Our results demonstrate that the representation and perception of emergent gaze is dynamic as well.
