You want to order from a local restaurant, but you need to download a third-party delivery app, even though you plan to pick it up yourself. The prices and menu on the app are different to what you saw in the window. When you download a second app the prices are different again. You ring
@Koenfucius can’t wait for this study of 28 people where they just stare at a real or video face in 6s intervals to get blown completely out of proportion by media and CEOs.
The actual study: https://direct.mit.edu/imag/article/doi/10.1162/imag_a_00027/117875/Separable-processes-for-live-in-person-and-live
Abstract. It has long been understood that the ventral visual stream of the human brain processes features of simulated human faces. Recently, specificity for real and interactive faces has been reported in lateral and dorsal visual streams, raising new questions regarding neural coding of interactive faces and lateral and dorsal face-processing mechanisms. We compare neural activity during two live interactive face-to-face conditions where facial features and tasks remain constant while the social contexts (in-person or on-line conditions) are varied. Current models of face processing do not predict differences in these two conditions as features do not vary. However, behavioral eye-tracking measures showed longer visual dwell times on the real face and also increased arousal as indicated by pupil diameters for the real face condition. Consistent with the behavioral findings, signal increases with functional near infrared spectroscopy, fNIRS, were observed in dorsal-parietal regions for the real faces and increased cross-brain synchrony was also found within these dorsal-parietal regions for the real In-person Face condition. Simultaneously, acquired electroencephalography, EEG, also showed increased theta power in real conditions. These neural and behavioral differences highlight the importance of natural, in-person, paradigms and social context for understanding live and interactive face processing in humans.
For those of you attending #SfN23 for the first time, or if you’ve gone but never braved the NIH booth before, please come by and say hi! Especially if you’re a trainee or early career, don’t be discouraged by the mob of graybeards! POs are equally (if not more) excited to meet/talk with you!
As far as what to say/do, I’ll just repost this excellent advice from DrugMonkey (don’t know if he’s on here) on the topic:

@elduvelle Unconventional Diner is supposed to be good but a bit pricey (have not eaten there personally).
Conceived by Chef David Deshaies and Restaurateur Eric Eden, Unconventional Diner serves inspired dishes that blend soulful comfort with haute technique. The menu is studded with imaginative delights that echo the restaurant’s name, from French fries with “sexy sauce” to pot-pie poppers—an addictive appetizer version of the all-American favorite—to a meatloaf that’s “nothing like anyone’s mom’s.” Chef David, a much-praised protégé of Michel Richard, is the culinary force behind this highly acclaimed spot in Shaw. Craft cocktails and award-winning desserts add to the alchemy for diners looking for an entertaining (and delicious) culinary experience.
@elduvelle SUNdeVICH is good for takeout. They have veggie but not Vegan options I think.
