Facial mimicry is commonly defined as the tendency to imitate—at a sub-threshold level—
facial expressions of other individuals. Numerous studies support a role of facial mimicry in …

Individuals with a locked-in state live with severe whole-body paralysis that limits their ability
to communicate with family and loved ones. Recent advances in brain–computer interface …

Influential theoretical models argue that an internal simulation mechanism (motor or
sensorimotor simulation) supports the recognition of facial expressions. However, despite …

According to sensorimotor simulation models, recognition of another person's emotion is
achieved by recreating the motor production of the perceived facial expression in oneself …

Humans rely heavily on facial expressions for social communication to convey their thoughts
and emotions and to understand them in others. One prominent but controversial view is that …

In this experiment, we replicated the effect of muscle engagement on perception such that
the recognition of another's facial expressions was biased by the observer's facial muscular …

The role of facial feedback in facial emotion recognition remains controversial, partly due to
limitations of the existing methods to manipulate the activation of facial muscles, such as …

What mechanisms underlie facial expression recognition? A popular hypothesis holds that
efficient facial expression recognition cannot be achieved by visual analysis alone but …

Objective: Facial paralysis (FP) may impact emotional clarity, attachment, stigma, anxiety,
