Temporal dynamics of behavior, particularly facial expressions, are fundamental for
communication between individuals from very early in development. Facial expression …

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

Moebius syndrome (MBS) is characterized by the congenital absence or underdevelopment
of cranial nerves VII and VI, leading to facial palsy and impaired lateral eye movements. As a …

According to the models of sensorimotor simulation, we recognize others' emotions by subtly
mimicking their expressions, which allows us to feel the corresponding emotion via facial …

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 …

Reverse simulation models of facial expression recognition suggest that we recognize the
emotions of others by running implicit motor programmes responsible for the production of …

Simulation theories propose that observing another's facial expression activates
sensorimotor representations involved in the execution of that expression, facilitating …

Recent models of sensorimotor simulation postulate that simulation aids 'refining'visual
representations of others' emotional facial expressions through an iterative communication …

According to embodied simulation theories, others' emotions are recognized by the
unconscious mimicking of observed facial expressions, which requires the implicit activation …

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 …
