Lust hate love6/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Previous research by Cacioppo has shown that different networks of brain regions are activated by love and sexual desire. “Although little is currently known about the science of love at first sight or how people fall in love, these patterns of response provide the first clues regarding how automatic attentional processes, such as eye gaze, may differentiate feelings of love from feelings of desire toward strangers,” says lead author Stephanie Cacioppo, director of the High-Performance Electrical NeuroImaging Laboratory at the University of Chicago. That automatic judgment can occur in as little as half a second, producing different gaze patterns. Scientists say if the gaze is focused on a stranger’s face, then love is possible, but if the gaze focuses more on the stranger’s body, then the attraction is more sexual in nature. ![]() Where someone’s gaze falls could indicate almost instantly whether attraction is based on feelings of love or of lust. ![]()
