Commun Psychol. 2023 Nov 28;1(1):36. doi: 10.1038/s44271-023-00037-6.

Abstract

Humans are highly social beings who are interested in what others are saying, thinking, and doing. A recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that we can easily tell whether a person’s pattern of attention is natural or artificially manipulated.
