“SOCIAL INTERACTION PERCEPTION (fMRI)” Regarding the role of pSTS in analyzing biological motions

Abstract

In a more in depth look into the posterior superior temporal sulcus, or better known as the pSTS, research was completed to determine the connection between brain imaging, statistical analysis, and the role that the pSTS plays in determining social interactions. With the use of carefully constructed images and videos, participants brain’s were scanned with the use of fMRI technology. The fMRI scans were then analyzed and compared with the statistical data collected while participants viewed the supplied media. pSTS is reportedly the brain’s most active region that is provenly responsible for understanding social signals, processing different social interactions, and further engaging additional specialized sub-systems.
