Popis: We recently reported that an individual’s pupils mimic changes in the pupils of his or her interaction partner, that mimicking dilating pupils associates with more trust in economic games, and that such pupil mimicry-related trust tracked neural activation in brain areas associated with theory of mind (1). Our findings confirm earlier studies suggesting that pupil mimicry is a social phenomenon (2⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓–8). Mathot and Naber (9) question this interpretation, suspecting that differences in luminance in dilating pupils compared with constricting pupils account for the observed effects. They provide some backup for their claim with citation of a study by Derksen et al. (10), in which they examined luminance-controlled stimuli. We find the … [↵][1]1To whom correspondence should be addressed. Email: m.e.kret{at}fsw.leidenuniv.nl. [1]: #xref-corresp-1-1
