Face to face: blocking facial mimicry can selectively impair recognition of emotional expressions.
People spontaneously mimic a variety of behaviors, including emotional facial expressions. Embodied cognition theories suggest that mimicry reflects internal simulation of perceived emotion in order to facilitate its understanding. If so, blocking facial mimicry should impair recognition of expressions, especially of emotions that are simulated using facial musculature. The current research tes...
متن کاملEmotional Empathy and Facial Mimicry for Static and Dynamic Facial Expressions of Fear and Disgust
Facial mimicry is the tendency to imitate the emotional facial expressions of others. Increasing evidence suggests that the perception of dynamic displays leads to enhanced facial mimicry, especially for happiness and anger. However, little is known about the impact of dynamic stimuli on facial mimicry for fear and disgust. To investigate this issue, facial EMG responses were recorded in the co...
متن کاملDeficits in the Mimicry of Facial Expressions in Parkinson's Disease
BACKGROUND Humans spontaneously mimic the facial expressions of others, facilitating social interaction. This mimicking behavior may be impaired in individuals with Parkinson's disease, for whom the loss of facial movements is a clinical feature. OBJECTIVE To assess the presence of facial mimicry in patients with Parkinson's disease. METHOD Twenty-seven non-depressed patients with idiopathi...
متن کاملImitating expressions: emotion-specific neural substrates in facial mimicry.
Intentionally adopting a discrete emotional facial expression can modulate the subjective feelings corresponding to that emotion; however, the underlying neural mechanism is poorly understood. We therefore used functional brain imaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging) to examine brain activity during intentional mimicry of emotional and non-emotional facial expressions and relate regiona...
متن کاملFacial expression arousal level modulates facial mimicry.
We investigated the effect of facial expression arousal level and mode of presentation on facial mimicry. High- and low-arousal facial expressions indicating pleasant and unpleasant emotions were presented both statically and dynamically. Participants' facial electromyographic (EMG) reactions were recorded from the zygomatic major and corrugator supercilii muscles. Stronger zygomatic major musc...
