Because moving depictions of face emotion have greater ecological validity than their static
counterparts, it has been suggested that still photographs may not engage …

Identifying facial expressions is crucial for social interactions. Functional neuroimaging
studies show that a set of brain areas, such as the fusiform gyrus and amygdala, become …

Facial expressions of emotion powerfully influence social behavior. The distributed network
of brain regions thought to decode these social signals has been empirically defined using …

People track facial expression dynamics with ease to accurately perceive distinct emotions.
Although the superior temporal sulcus (STS) appears to possess mechanisms for perceiving …

This fMRI study examines the role of local and global motion information in facial
movements during exposure to novel dynamic face stimuli. We found that synchronous …

The ability to decode facial emotions is of primary importance for human social interactions;
yet, it is still debated how we analyze faces to determine their expression. Here we …

A network of cortical and sub-cortical regions is known to be important in the processing of
facial expression. However, to date no study has investigated whether representations of …

Previous studies have demonstrated that emotions are automatically processed. Even with
subliminal presentations, subjects involuntarily mimic specific facial expressions, are …

Recognition of facial expressions is crucial for effective social interactions. Yet, the extent to
which the various face-selective regions in the human brain classify different facial …

Facial expressions are known to impact observers' behavior, even when they are not
consciously identifiable. Relying on visual crowding, a perceptual phenomenon whereby …
