14 Chapter 1 Figure 1.2 Schematic overview of brain regions involved in the “attachment network” (after Feldman (2017)), including the embodied simulation/affective empathy network (red) involved in resonating with others’ mental states and emotions and the mentalizing/cognitive empathy network (green) involved in social cognition, mental-state understanding, and social goal interpretation. ACC = Anterior cingulate cortex, AI = Anterior insula, dmPFC = Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, IFG = Inferior frontal gyrus, IPL = Inferior parietal lobule, PCC = Posterior cingulate cortex, SMA = Supplementary motor area, STS = Superior temporal sulcus, TP = Temporal pole, TPJ = Temporoparietal junction, vmPFC = Ventromedial prefrontal gyrus. EYE CONTACT Eye contact is a social cue that initiates and regulates social interaction and facilitates the formation and maintenance of social ties between people (Emery, 2000; Hietanen, 2018). Although the attentional and cognitive processes related to eye contact have been extensively
