Non-invasive brain stimulation methods, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS),
are widely used worldwide to make causality-based inferences about brain-behavior …

Emotions are often felt in the body, and somatosensory feedback has been proposed to
trigger conscious emotional experiences. Here we reveal maps of bodily sensations …

Categorical models of emotions posit neurally and physiologically distinct human basic
emotions. We tested this assumption by using multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) to …

When we observe a facial expression of emotion, we often mimic it. This automatic mimicry
reflects underlying sensorimotor simulation that supports accurate emotion recognition. Why …

Recent application of theories of embodied or grounded cognition to the recognition and
interpretation of facial expression of emotion has led to an explosion of research in …

Empathy is thought to play a key role in motivating prosocial behavior, guiding our
preferences and behavioral responses, and providing the affective and motivational base for …

Brain imaging studies in humans have shown that face processing in several areas is
modulated by the affective significance of faces, particularly with fearful expressions, but …

Eyes and gaze are very important stimuli for human social interactions. Recent studies
