Recent research has exposed disagreements over the nature and usefulness of what may (or may not) be Human-Computer Interaction's fundamental phenomenon: 'interaction'. For some, HCI's theorising about interaction has been deficient, impacting its capacity to inform decisions in design, suggesting the need either to…

Social interactions are essential aspects of social relationships. Despite their centrality, there is a lack of a standardized approach to systematize social interactions. The present research developed (Study 1) and tested (Study 2) a taxonomy of social interactions. In Study 1 (5,676 descriptions of social…

We consider the second-person or interactive approach to social understanding, conceived as an understanding of intentional relations. We identify five forms of second-person information - self-directedness, contingency, reciprocity, affective engagement, and shared intentions - that occur only in interactions. We…

What makes possible the co-creation of meaningful action? In this paper, we go in search of an answer to this question by combining insights from interactional sociology and enaction. Both research schools investigate social interactions as such, and conceptualize their organization in terms of autonomy. We ask what it…

In combat sports, athletes continuously co-adapt their behavior to that of the opponent. We consider this interactive aspect of combat to be at the heart of skilled performance, yet combat sports research often neglects or limits interaction between combatants. To promote a more interactive approach, the aim of this…

This Research Topic was launched with the aim of highlighting and exploring the mechanisms and functions of interpersonal interaction, and thereby deepening our understanding of these highly interesting and complex phenomena and their downstream effects on real-life social interaction. The collection of contributions…

Physical interactions between particles are the result of the exchange of gauge bosons. Human interactions are mediated by the exchange of messages, goods, money, promises, hostilities, etc. While in the physical world interactions and their associated forces have immediate dynamical consequences (Newton’s laws) the…

Human visual attention is readily captured by the social information in scenes. Multiple studies have shown that social areas of interest (AOIs) such as faces and bodies attract more attention than non-social AOIs (e.g. objects or background). However, whether this attentional bias is moderated by the presence (or…

Understanding the types and locations of interactions between atoms or molecules within a chemical system is a fundamental concern in chemistry. In the field of theoretical and computational chemistry, wavefunction analysis offers various methods based on functions defined in three-dimensional real space, enabling the…

'Xiangyu Zhang' 'Jian Sun'] Understanding interactions between humans and objects is one of the fundamental problems in visual classification and an essential step towards detailed scene understanding. Human-object interaction (HOI) detection strives to localize both the human and an object as well as the…

As people coordinate in daily interactions, they engage in different patterns of behavior to achieve successful outcomes. This includes both synchrony – the temporal coordination of the same behaviors at the same time – and complementarity – the coordination of the same or different behaviors that may occur at…

Determining linkage rules that govern the formation of species interactions is a critical goal of ecologists, especially considering that biodiversity, species interactions, and the ecosystem processes they maintain are changing at rapid rate worldwide. Species traits and abundance play a role in determining…

The ability to detect and interpret third-party encounters (TPE) is one of the crucial skills enabling people to operate in the social world. Multiple lines of evidence converge towards the preferential processing of TPE when compared to the individual actions of multiple agents, even if the actions of agents were…

For decades, molecular visualization software has been fundamental to education and research in chemistry, structural biology, and materials science. These tools have enabled the inspection of structures, dynamics, and interactions, yet their reliance on two-dimensional (2D) interfaces imposes persistent limitations.…

A hallmark of successful evolution resides in the ability to adapt our actions to those of others, optimizing collective behaviour, to achieve goals otherwise unattainable by individuals acting alone. We have previously shown that macaques constitute a good model to analyse joint behavior, since they are able to…

'Petia Radeva'] Following the increasingly popular trend of social interaction analysis in egocentric vision, this manuscript presents a comprehensive study for automatic social pattern characterization of a wearable photo-camera user, by relying on the visual analysis of egocentric photo-streams. The proposed…

Predicting actions from nonverbal cues and using them to optimize one’s response behavior (i.e., interpersonal predictive coding) is essential in everyday social interactions. We aimed to investigate the neural correlates of different cognitive processes evolving over time during interpersonal predictive coding.…

Understanding how individuals evaluate social content in affective scenes is crucial for research in emotion, social cognition, and decision-making. However, standardized image databases often lack fine-grained ratings of social dimensions beyond basic emotional content. We present a normative dataset of 296 affective…

Group-living organisms that collectively migrate range from cells and bacteria to human crowds, and include swarms of insects, schools of fish and flocks of birds or ungulates. Unveiling the behavioural and cognitive mechanisms by which these groups coordinate their movements is a challenging task. These mechanisms…

Many Web platforms rely on user collaboration to generate high-quality content: Wiki, Q&A communities, etc. Understanding and modeling the different collaborative behaviors is therefore critical. However, collaboration patterns are difficult to capture when the relationships between users are not directly observable…

The reemergence of virtual reality (VR) in the last few years has led to affordable commodity hardware that can offer new ways to teach, communicate and engage with difficult concepts, especially those which involve complicated 3D motion and spatial manipulation. In a higher education context, these immersive…

'Stefan Thurner'] Studying human behaviour in virtual environments provides extraordinary opportunities for a quantitative analysis of social phenomena with levels of accuracy that approach those of the natural sciences. In this paper we use records of player activities in the massive multiplayer online game Pardus…

Supramolecular transition metal catalysts with tailored reaction environments allow for the usage of abundant 3d metals as catalytic centres, leading to more sustainable chemical processes. However, such catalysts are large and flexible systems with intricate interactions, resulting in complex reaction coordinates. To…

How to accelerate a reaction has been a critical question in physical organic chemistry, eliciting multiple models describing the interplay between kinetics and thermodynamic driving forces. However, existing models often come with inevitable limitations: valid only within finite thermodynamic ranges, rely on heavy…
