Functional atlas of emotional faces processing: a voxel-based meta-analysis of 105 functional magnetic resonance imaging studies
Background: Most of our social interactions involve perception of emotional information from
the faces of other people. Furthermore, such emotional processes are thought to be aberrant …

Emotions in motion: dynamic compared to static facial expressions of disgust and happiness reveal more widespread emotion-specific activations
SA Trautmann, T Fehr, M Herrmann - Brain research, 2009 - Elsevier
In social contexts, facial expressions are dynamic in nature and vary rapidly in relation to
situational requirements. However, there are very few fMRI studies using dynamic emotional …
