Abstract(in English) Joint attention is the phenomenon in which the gaze direction of another people produces reflexive orienting of an observer's visual attention.This study examined the effect of the contrast polarity of the seen eyes on the joint attention based on visual cueing paradigm.The images of human eyes with positive and negative contrast polarity were used as an uninformative cue.Participants were asked to make a simple detection response to a target.Positive contrast cues produced faster target detection latencies at a cued relative to an uncued location, but negative contrast cues did not.These results suggest that the system for joint attention can utilize the specific contrast pattern of the seen eyes.
