    Abstract Eye contact with a humanoid robot has been shown to evoke similar affect and affiliation related psychophysiological responses as eye contact with another human. In this pre-registered study, we investigated whether these effects are dependent on the experience of being "watched". Psychophysiological responses (SCR, zygomatic and corrugator facial EMG, frontal EEG asymmetry) to a humanoid robot's or a human model's direct vs. averted gaze were measured while manipulating the participants' belief of whether the robot/human model could see them or not. The results showed greater autonomic arousal responses and facial responses related to positive affect both to the robot's and the human model's direct vs. averted gaze, regardless of the belief condition. The belief condition influenced the overall magnitude of these responses to both stimulus models, however, to a lesser extent for the robot than for the human model. For the frontal EEG asymmetry, the effect of gaze direction was non-significant in both belief conditions. The results lend further support for the importance of eye contact in human-robot interaction and provide insights into people's implicit attributions of humanoid robots' mental capacities.

    Abstract Previous research has shown that eye contact, in human-human interaction, elicits increased affective and attention related psychophysiological responses. In the present study, we investigated whether eye contact with a humanoid robot would elicit these responses. Participants were facing a humanoid robot (NAO) or a human partner, both physically present and looking at or away from the participant. The results showed that both in human-robot and human-human condition, eye contact versus averted gaze elicited greater skin conductance responses indexing autonomic arousal, greater facial zygomatic muscle responses (and smaller corrugator responses) associated with positive affect, and greater heart deceleration responses indexing attention allocation. With regard to the skin conductance and zygomatic responses, the human model's gaze direction had a greater effect on the responses as compared to the robot's gaze direction. In conclusion, eye contact elicits automatic affective and attentional reactions both when shared with a humanoid robot and with another human.

    Abstract Facial electromyographic responses and skin conductance responses were measured to investigate whether, in a neutral laboratory environment, another individual's direct gaze elicits a positive or negative affective reaction in the observer. The results showed that greater zygomatic responses associated with positive affect were elicited by seeing another person with direct as compared to averted gaze. The zygomatic responses were greater in response to another person's direct gaze both when the participant's own gaze was directed towards the other and when the participant was not looking directly towards the other. Compatible with the zygomatic responses, the corrugator activity (associated with negative affect) was decreased below baseline more in response to another person's direct than averted gaze. Replicating previous research, the skin conductance responses were greater to another person's direct than averted gaze. The results provide evidence that, in a neutral context, another individual's direct gaze is an affiliative, positive signal.
