Abstract
Background. Humans are particularly efficient in rapidly extracting the social significance of complex social scenarios. Clinical and functional neuroimaging studies have outlined the brain regions involved in the processing of facial identity, age, and mimicry, as well as in the prediction of the emotional states and intentions of others. The apperception of of social contexts involves distinct processes that have been less well characterized in clinical as well as in functional neuroimaging terms. We investigated the brain activation pattern associated with the visual perception social contexts and compared it with those evoked by stimuli carrying neutral, positive and negative emotional valence and visual arousal.
