It’s already begun. The increase in the number of applications for European fellowships, grants and positions from
US-based candidates is massive!

The paper includes a table reviewing available fMRI studies on social interaction perception, organized according to stimulus modality (dynamic vs. static) and content (just facing bodies vs. meaningful interaction), which reveals interesting patterns

• Seeing two bodies face-to-face is sufficient to trigger the social interaction network, with effects that are strongly left lateralized (see also www.cell.com/current-biol... )
Converging evidence that left extrastriate body area supports visual sensitivity to social interactions
Gandolfo et al. use a combination of correlational (fMRI) and causal (TMS) methods
to show that activity in the left extrastriate body area (lEBA) is required to efficiently
perceive face-to-face huma...
