Humans are remarkably good at recognizing other animals from appearance🐾 Our new study in J Cogn Neurosci @MITPress shows this ability is surprisingly resilient to visual information loss, using EEG, behavioral measures, and deep neural networks. With @jrhochmann.bsky.social C. Spriet F. Rostami 🧵👇

10 years ago we identified a stage in social-event processing in which perception recognizes that two social agents are connected. A new study now shows that this stage is fully encapsulated from language and semantics. Soon to appear in @APA JEP:HPP Preprint osf.io/ngjwu/files/...
