I am curious. Does anyone feel this research relates to attraction, initial interactions, behavior with strangers or what researchers label zero acquaintance interactions? Take the quote, "The idea of two visual systems in a single brain might seem initially counter-intuitive. After all, it seems obvious that it is the same subjective image that allows us both to recognize the coffee cup on our desk and to pick it up”. But this belief is an illusion, as the new research demonstrates. When there is a conflict between what we perceive and what is really out there in the world, it seems that it is our fingers have an advantage." What, if anything does this research says about the accuracy of our first impressions of humans? Would a man or women be more "accurate" in what he, she reaches for than what he, or she looks for. Hum. I am imagining singles online clicking through photo's on dating website. First let me say anyone who uses the words interesting and fascinating as much as I do is interesting and fascinating!
